IND v AUS, BGT 1st Test: Mohammed Siraj trapped Usman Khawaja leg before wicket on his first delivery but many on social media questioned the DRS call
India get off to a flying start with the new ball on Day 1 of the opening Test of the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Vidarbha Cricket on Thursday at the Association Stadium, Jamtha, Nagpur.
Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami dismissed the Australian openers ahead of the first Test with questions about how the visitors would fare against the Indian spinners.
Siraj trapped Khawaja on his first ball of the four-match series. Full bowling on the leg stump, Siraj shapes the ball back. Khawaja tries to watch it off his pads, but misses the ball completely.
