Mohammed Siraj provided fans with an unexpected comic moment during the second ODI between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday, October 23. While fielding near the boundary, the Indian pacer accidentally lost his pants, leaving commentators and fans in stitches during an otherwise tense match.
Australia, led by Mitchell Marsh, are chasing 265 to seal the series after India posted 264/9 in their 50 overs. Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer led India’s fightback with crucial half-centuries, while the lower order chipped in with valuable runs. The hilarious moment occurred on the third ball of the 38th over in Australia’s innings.

Earlier in the innings, Siraj had dropped a crucial catch of Matthew Short, who was batting on 53 at the time. Short capitalised on the lifeline, taking Australia closer to the target. However, Siraj redeemed himself later, holding onto a sharp catch off Harshit Rana’s bowling to dismiss Short for 74 off 78 balls, a knock that included four fours and two sixes.

By the time Short departed, Australia were firmly in control at 187/5 in their chase. Despite India’s spirited effort in the field, the hosts maintained their advantage, leaving Shubman Gill’s men under pressure to pull off a comeback. While the game had its tense moments, it was Siraj’s wardrobe malfunction that gave fans a memorable laugh amid the heat of battle.
