Mohammad Siraj gets Khwaja out with a trick
In the second over of the first Test match, Indian bowler Mohammad Siraj gave the first success to India by dismissing Australian batsman Usman Khawaja LBW on his first ball. Khawaja could score only 1 run. In fact, in the first instance, the umpire rejected Siraj’s lbw appeal but the bowler convinced his captain Rohit Sharma to take DRS. TV replays later showed that the ball was on the pitch line and hitting the leg stump. In such a situation, the third umpire asked the field umpire to change his decision. This is how the wicket of Usman Khawaja fell, while Siraj convinced India to give India their first breakthrough.
