Mohammed Siraj took the wicket of Jamue Smith during the third England vs India Test.
India pacer Mohammed Siraj took the wicket of England batter Jamie Smith on day two of the third Test at Lord’s on Friday. Mohammed Siraj, though, celebrated the wicket with a unique celebration wherein he signalled the number “20” towards the Indian dressing room.
The gesture of the number “20” by Mohammed Siraj was a tribute the late Portugal football player Diogo Jota, who lost is life during a car crash accident in Spain.
The Liverpool winger was 28 years old and passed away during the tragic car accident on July 3. Diogo Jota’s brother Andre Silva, who was also a professional footballer, was also travelling with him and lost his life. The two of them were travelling in a Lamborghini when the car veered off the road and burst into flames in the city of Zamora last week.
