The fiery Indian seamer, Mohammed Siraj did a celebration similar to that of the legendary footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, after dismissing Rassie van der Dussen during Day 3 of the opening Test of the three-match series in South Africa at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Tuesday. This was South Africa’s fourth wicket in the innings.
However, there was a moment of distress for the visiting team as Jasprit Bumrah injured his right ankle in a freakish accident. Bumrah twisted his ankle badly while completing his follow-through, after delivering the fifth ball of the 11th over of the South African first innings and Mohammed Siraj completed the over. The latter got the wicket of Rassie van der Dussen in the next over itself and he imitated the celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo.
