What a harsh day it was for Team India at Lord’s. England won by 22 runs and left Indian fans feeling sad. This loss means India is now behind 2-1 in the series.
Something strange happened during the team’s practice session recently. The players started playing Hanuman Chalisa in their dressing room. You know how cricketers love listening to this prayer before matches. It helps them feel strong and confident. However, Mohammed Siraj was standing outside when this was happening.
The Dressing Room Moment Everyone’s Discussing
A video went viral showing Siraj standing outside while teammates chanted inside. Social media users shared this clip thousands of times. People started asking questions about why he stayed outside during the prayer.
Rishabh Pant was also spotted outside the dressing room with Siraj. But cricket fans focused mainly on Siraj’s position. This happened when religious discussions were already creating tension across India. The timing made this video even more controversial.
