Delhi: India’s fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has been fined 15 percent of his match fees due to violation of the code of conduct on the fourth day of the Lord’s Test. Apart from this, he has also got a demerit point.
Ban Duckets out of aggressive celebration
The incident took place in the sixth over of England’s second innings when Siraj went to him in a very aggressive manner after dismissing opener Ben Docket. It was considered a violation of the rules under Section 2.5 of the ICC, in which after dismissing a batsman, the use of such gestures or words is forbidden which can cause provocation.
Team of umpires accused
Siraj was jointly accused by field umpire Paul Refel and Sharfuddaula Ibne Shahid, third umpire Ahsan Raza and fourth umpire Graham Lloyd. Siraj accepted his mistake and accepted the punishment, which gave him relief from formal hearing.
Second demerit point in two years
This is the second demerit point of Siraj within two years. Earlier, he got a point during the Adelaide Test against Australia. If a player gets four or more demerit points within 24 months, then suspension action can be taken on him.
Washington Sundar’s spin brought the lead
On the field, India has brought itself to a state of victory. Washington Sundar took four crucial wickets to England for just 192 runs in the third innings. Indian fast bowlers initially put pressure on and Sundar came in the middle and defeated the opposition batsmen.
Effective performance of Siraj and Bumrah
In the morning session, Mohammad Siraj bowled brilliantly, while Jasprit Bumrah finally played a big role in covering the English innings. The bowling of both brought India to a strong position.
