Manchester: India is taking on England in the final ODI of the three-match ODI series. India once again won the toss and opted to bowl. The Men In Blue suffered a big blow as Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the match after suffering a niggle. India brought Mohammed Siraj in the team in place of Bumrah. The pacer was asked to bowl the second over and he delivered an unbelievable performance. Siraj dismissed Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root in a double-wicket maiden to leave England reeling.
Before his first delivery, Virat Kohli was seen giving tips to Siraj. Kohli and Siraj share a great bond. Siraj has always credited Virat for his success in international cricket. Both players play for the same team, RCB, in IPL. Meanwhile, post the wicket of Root, Kohli and Siraj were seen celebrating in style.
