India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj's picture in which he can be seen talking on a walkie-talkie in the stands is going viral on social media. Siraj is not part of the playing XI in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand at Southampton.
Team India are playing only three pacers in the WTC final, along with two spinners. They went ahead with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma, R Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja for the bowling options.
Siraj, who has played five Test matches for India and showed good signs with the ball, couldn't get an opportunity. However, he did trend on social media due to the viral picture which turned into a meme. Twitterati posted the picture with hilarious captions.
Some of the fans are missing the 27-year-old pacer as Team India struggled to get wickets in the first innings. New Zealand are batting on 101/2 at the end of Day 3, in reply to India's 217 all out.
Here are the reactions from the fans:
