Indian national cricket team player Mohammed Siraj did not have a great day on the field in the ongoing match against Australia national cricket team. The Boxing Day Test between the two teams takes place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Mohammed Siraj, who took over the new ball along with Jasprit Bumrah, was unable to make an impact early and has so far failed to take a wicket in the match. The fast bowler did not even bother the batsmen and runs against him were quite easy.
Not only with the ball, but Mohamed Siraj was very bad on the field. The Indian national cricket team made sloppy efforts on the field and the latest came in the first ball of the 67th over when Jasprit Bumrah was bowling to Steve Smith.
Jasprit Bumrah bowled a catch that was bowled outside off. Steve Smith stroked it past extra cover, and it looked like it was going to be just a single, but Mohammed Siraj came up with a very poor effort as he did not time his slide correctly.
This allowed the Australia National Cricket Team to make three runs as Mohammed Siraj's poor day on the field continued.

Mohammed Siraj's poor effort inside the field came as a blessing in disguise for India as Jasprit Bumrah removed Travis Head for a duck.
Mohammed Siraj's poor effort on the field came as a blessing in disguise for the India national cricket team. He allowed Travis Head, who had just come in to bat, to face Jasprit Bumrah early in his innings and the batsman could not do any damage with the bat in the game.
Jasprit Bumrah fortified the batter's stumps and sent him packing for a duck. The opener picked his second wicket in the form of Travis Head and followed it up with the wicket of Mitchell Marsh to bring the India national cricket team back into the match.
Jasprit Bumrah once again struggled to get support from Mohammed Siraj in the ongoing series. The latter has looked nervous with the ball and in his first 13 overs, he has not picked up a single wicket, which is a major cause of concern for the India national cricket team.

Earlier in the day, the Australia national cricket team won the toss and elected to bat first. Debutant Sam Konstas lit up the stage when he took charge of the Indian national cricket team's pacers and slammed a brutal half-century on debut, putting the visitors on the defensive.
He criticized Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith for half a century. The Australia National Cricket Team is in the driver's seat of the game as it crossed the 280-run mark with ease.
