Watch: Mohammed Siraj sledges Najmul Hossain Shanto after being pulled for a boundary
Team India's star cricketer Mohammed Siraj is known for his aggressive nature and intent. When Siraj is at a good pace, he is capable of troubling any of the biggest batters in this world with his great bowling spells. Not only is he bowling, but Siraj is also well known for his fiery sledging. During the fourth day of the opening Test match between India and Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai, the Indian fast bowler was seen sledding Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain.

However, in reply, the Bangladesh skipper kept his calm and just wanted to concentrate on his batting rather than engaging in a war of words with India's right-arm pacer. Mohammed Siraj did not stop here and continued to sledge Shanto for almost every ball. Interestingly, Shanto didn't have an argument with him even once in the game.
Mohammed Siraj was clearly pumped up for the rivalry, and his increased pace was a clear indication of it. The right arm seamer's pace was a clear indication of it. He constantly bowled close to 140 kph on a pitch that was playing unevenly on Day 4 of the first Test match. However, he did not get any wickets for his spells and finished with 0-32 in his 10 overs.
