Siraj’s unfortunate dismissal broke millions of Indian hearts during the thrilling Lord’s Test recently. Mohammed Siraj got out in the strangest way possible when India almost won. England beat India by just 22 runs in the IND vs ENG 3rd Test match.

The Weird Ball That Changed Everything
Shoaib Bashir bowled a delivery that nobody expected to take a wicket. The ball spun off the pitch in a crazy way after Siraj hit it. It bounced off his bat and somehow rolled back to hit the stumps.
Siraj played the shot perfectly according to cricket coaching books everywhere. He defended the ball with proper technique, like coaches teach young players. The delivery had a gentle spin but changed direction after hitting the ground strangely.
“And then the last ball of the day – he got behind a hard-spun delivery, and he middled it. He did everything you could ask for from a number 11. It hit the very centre of the bat. But as it does, it isn’t quite a straight blade – it’s angled for the impact – and the fact that Siraj is using really perfectly soft hands, as he was supposed to do, that was right,” Kimber said.
Cricket expert Jarrod Kimber called this ball a complete freak of nature. Nobody could predict that such a normal-looking delivery would cause such damage. The ball defied all cricket logic and left everyone scratching their heads.

How Siraj Fought Before This Moment
Siraj batted for 30 balls and gave India real hope of winning. He partnered with Ravindra Jadeja to bring India back from the dead. The IND vs ENG 3rd Test looked lost when India fell to 82/7.
The tailenders showed incredible fight when the top batsmen had already failed. Siraj’s unfortunate dismissal came in the 75th over during the most tense moments. He was trying to survive and let Jadeja do most of the scoring.
India needed just a few more runs to pull off an amazing comeback. Fans were already celebrating before this bizarre dismissal crushed their dreams completely. The partnership was building beautifully until this freak accident happened.

The Heartbreak That Followed
Siraj just sat there like a statue, staring at his broken stumps. He couldn’t wrap his head around what had just happened to him. English players went crazy with joy while Indian fans wanted to cry.
Siraj dragged his feet back to the pavilion, looking completely lost and confused. His teammates buried their faces in their hands, watching everything fall apart. Siraj’s unfortunate dismissal snatched victory right from India’s mouth at the worst moment.
Manchester awaits India now, but this freak dismissal will haunt them for months. The IND vs ENG 3rd Test ended with the cruelest luck imaginable for Siraj.
