The 28-year-old dismissed Jonny Bairstow as he completely deceived the English opener who mistimed his shot giving a simple catch to Shreyas Iyer. Then, Siraj was spotted having a conversation with Virat Kohli, shortly after he bowled an outside the off stump pitching ball, which Root edged and skipper Rohit completed the catch at slip.
India were off to a great start thanks to Siraj because both Root and Bairstow had been among runs.
