Mohammed Siraj suffers hilarious wardrobe malfunction and loses his pants during India’s 2nd ODI vs Australia
Team India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj gave fans an unexpected moment of laughter during the second of the three-match ODI series against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday (October 23).

However, he wore black compression shorts underneath. The incident amused fans and commentators. Siraj managed to prevent the ball from crossing the boundary line, as it deflected off his body and back into the field.

Mohammed Siraj drops a cart on Matthew Short at Washington Sundar’s bowling alley
Earlier in the match, Mohammed Siraj missed a crucial chance to dismiss Matthew Short. Short, well placed on 53, played a cross-court shot through the covers which ended at backward point. The ball went straight into Siraj’s hands, but he failed to hold on. At this stage Australia were 139/4 in their run.
Siraj made up for his mistake on the last ball of the 36th over. Harshit Rana bowled a short delivery which Short tried to attack, and Siraj completed the catch. Short had to return to the dressing room for 74 off 78 balls, including four boundaries and two sixes.
India managed to run the batter out of the set, but Short had already contributed important runs to Australia’s total, putting the hosts in a good position at 187/5 during the chase.
