India pacer Mohammad Siraj had an average day with the ball against New Zealand in the first T20I on Wednesday (November 17). He conceded 39 runs in four overs and picked up only one wicket.

Apart from it, Siraj also got injured in the final over of New Zealand's innings on his follow-through. It was the first delivery of the over when Mitchell Santner tried to hit the ball as hard as he could.

It ended up hurting Siraj's finger and the team had to call for the physio. He soon resumed bowling after getting some treatment.

But what became the point of discussion on social media was an incident in the dug-out when captain Rohit Sharma hit Siraj on his back in a friendly manner. In the video viral on Twitter, Rohit and KL Rahul can be seen watching a replay before they turned to Siraj and the skipper gave him a tap.

Here is the video:

India managed to begin the three-match T20I series with a win by 5 wickets. Suryakumar Yadav (62 off 40 balls) and Rohit (48 off 36 balls) were the major contributors in chasing the target of 165 runs in 19.4 overs.
