Team India pacer Mohammed Siraj's picture of talking on a walkie-talkie while being in the dressing room during the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand has gone viral and has inspired hilarious memes on Twitter.
Virat Kohli-led Indian team went with the combination of three pacers Ishant Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami along with the two spinning all-rounders in Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, which meant the likes of Siraj and Umesh Yadav had to sit out of the game.
The camera panned on Siraj during the game when New Zealand were bossing it at 72/1 and the only wicket the Indian team was able to get was through off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. As the trio of Indian pacers was unable to break the opening partnership for a long time, Siraj and Bhuvneshwar Kumar's names started trending on Twitter as the users on Twitter suggested that they were missing a swing bowler like one of them.
Thus, the Siraj image became the carrier of all the memes, whether it was a suggestion for a new song for Bharat Army who was playing some popular Hindi songs or a suggestion of dish for lunch from Biryani to Chhole or Siraj calling management for him coming in as concussion substitute, there were some hilarious reactions.
Here are some of them:
