Virat Kohli Appreciation To Mohammed Siraj: Nitish Kumar Reddy scored a century in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 being played against Australia in Melbourne. This century of the Indian all-rounder is being discussed everywhere. Amidst this century of Reddy, the name of fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is also being raised a lot. Virat Kohli was also seen patting the back of Mohammad Siraj. So let us know why Siraj became the topic of discussion and why Kohli praised him.
Siraj played an important role in Reddy’s century
Mohammed Siraj played an important role in Nitish Reddy’s century. Now you must be wondering what was the role of Siraj in Reddy’s century? So let us tell you that Siraj had contributed in completing Nitish’s century by playing three balls.
Actually, India’s score in the 113th over was 350/8 runs. Captain Pat Cummins brought the 114th over for Australia. Cummins had to face Jasprit Bumrah present at the crease. Bumrah stopped the first two balls of the over, but was out on the third ball. During this time, Nitish, who was present at the non-striker end, was on 99 runs. Now Siraj came to bat. Siraj had to face three balls from Cummins. Team India had the last wicket left.
If Siraj had been out, Nitish Reddy would have remained at 99 runs. Siraj, with his wisdom, defended three balls of Cummins. After this, Reddy came on strike in the next over and completed his century by hitting a four. In this way Siraj contributed to Nitish’s century.
Kohli patted Siraj on the back
Now in the video going viral on social media, it can be seen that Kohli is also patting Siraj on the back because he defended three balls of Cummins and then in the next over, brought Reddy on strike and gave him a chance to complete his century. Reddy also made a post through social media and wrote, “I believe in Siraj Bhai.” Watch the video and reaction here…
