Mohammed Siraj Loses Cool After GT Star's Blunder. Ravi Shastri's Reaction Adds To Drama
It got even worse for GT after Kishore sprinted from the square-leg region and slid to collect the ball at midwicket. He mistakenly pushed the ball away for a single, allowing the CSK batters to steal another run, making it three runs off the ball.
Cameras caught Siraj hurling a mouthfall at Kishore and even smashed the ball on the ground. In the end, he had to be consoled by Gill, whose mistake sparked the entire episode.
Reacting to Siraj's meltdown, former India head coach Ravi Shastri, who was in the commentary box, reacted saying: "Kya Miyan!"

Coming to the match, CSK won the toss and elected to bat first. A 63 run second wicket stand between Urvil Patel (37 in 19 balls, with four boundaries and two sixes) and Devon Conway (52 in 35 balls, with six fours and two sixes) and a 74-run fifth wicket stand between Dewald Brevis (57 in 23 balls, with four boundaries and five sixes) and Ravindra Jadeja (21* in 18 balls, with a four and six) took CSK to 230/5.
Prasidh Krishna (2/22) was GT's top bowler.
In the run chase, GT was never really in contention as they consistently lost wickets. Sai Sudharsan (41 in 28 balls, with six fours) top scored, as Noor Ahmed (3/21), Anshul Kamboj (3/13), and Ravindra Jadeja (2/17) dismantled GT, bundling them out for 147 in 18.3 overs.
With this win, CSK finish last with four victories and 10 losses, giving them eight points. GT ended the campaign with a loss, which could hamper their top two chances, with nine wins and five losses, giving them 18 points.

Morkel: Managing pacers' workload post-IPL for five Tests a challenge
India bowling coach Morne Morkel on Friday said managing the workload of fast bowlers during a five-match Test series can be an issue right after an IPL season, referring to the injuries faced by the current crop of pacers in England. The IPL final on June 3 and the first Test in England (June 20) had a gap of nearly three weeks between them but lasting the whole series was always going to be a challenge for the fast bowlers. It's a real test. We play three Test match series a lot and this is now our first time in a while we've done this with five. It shouldn't be excused, but in terms of conditioning, getting our guys conditioned and getting them ready for five Test series coming straight up after IPL, is sometimes an issue, said Morkel in the post-day press conference. Injury-prone pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been earmarked for three Tests in the series while Mohammed Siraj has played all four games thus far. The signs of fatigue are showing with average speeds of Bumrah and Co. going down in the ongoing Manchester Test. Akash Deep got injured after playing a couple of Tests and Arshdeep Singh suffered a hand injury while training, worsening India's injury woes. because you have to balance between Test matches, getting these guys a good amount of recovery time to also keep their bowling loads up. And that's why it's important for us to look at the future and get a good core of five, six bowlers that we can replace and these guys can come in and they can do the job. But at the moment, there's not a lot of experience with the ball. We've got Siraj, we've got Bumrah who has played a handful in the first, and then Akash has played a little bit, but he's out injured. So, we keep on finding ways to bring new guys. So it is not easy at the moment. This is just a phase that we need now to work through and get these guys stronger, to last for the rest of the Test matches, said Morkel. Morkel had no qualms in accepting that the Indian pacers were ordinary on day two before putting up a better performance on Friday. He also spoke about Anshul Kamboj who has found it tough on debut. Much better today with the ball. I thought yesterday was a tough day for us in the office. We missed our lines, putting us slightly on the back foot, but I thought the way the boys responded this morning, especially Siraj and Bumrah with the ball, was good to see. And yeah, from there, you know, we tried our best with trying to create opportunities on a wicket played better than the first couple of days. Discipline and holding those lines were key. And that was something I think we missed on day one. On the injuries to Bumrah and Siraj on day three, he said: Yeah, unfortunately, when we took the second new ball, Booms rolled his ankles going down the stairs. And then Siraj also, I think, rolled his foot in one of the footholds. But they seemed to be okay. He also spared a thought for Kamboj, who clocked underwhelming speeds in the range of 125 kmph. Unfortunately, there's no place to hide. And, you know, we support him as best as we can, through conversations. But it's also for him, it's good learning. And I think everybody in the dressing room is constantly telling him to keep going and supporting him. That's part of international cricket, it's good to get a taste for it and know, moving forward, what he needs to do to play at this level. So, you know, it's through good conversations and just keep on supporting him. He can definitely bowl quicker, added Morkel.

India bowling coach offers fitness updates on Bumrah, Siraj after tough third day at Manchester
Following a mixed bag day at work during the third day of fourth Test at Manchester, Indian bowling coach Morne Morkel offered fitness updates on key pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj , who had minor scares during the second session, which saw them walk off the field. Root's historic knock of 150 and a gutsy 77* by skipper Stokes kept India on backfoot, giving England a 186-run lead. India had their shares of troubles during the day, with Bumrah hobbling on the field. After bowling one new ball over, he had walked off the field and when he returned, he was seen hobbling. Also, Siraj walked off the field towards the final overs of the day. However, both bowlers returned in the final session and took a wicket each.

"I thought the way the boys responded this morning, especially Siraj and Bumrah with the ball was good to see. And yeah, from there, you know, we tried our best with trying to create opportunities. We could look like it played better than the first couple of two days." "So, you know, discipline and holding those lines were key, and that was something I think we missed earlier. And then coming back to the injuries, yeah, unfortunately, when we took the second new ball, Bumrah rolled his ankles going down the stairs, and then Siraj also, I think, rolled his foot in one of the footholds, but they seem to be okay," he added. Live Events Speaking on the bowlers bowling way below their average speeds on day three and if fatigue was emerging as a factor behind it, Morkel said when the surfaces are flatter, bowlers use more energy on every ball, while hitting the deck and "getting that little bit of extra zip" from the wicket. "I mean, to look at the workloads of the guys like Siraj and those sort of guys, they have had heavy workloads. Anshul, that is his first Test match so far, and it is important for us that we wanted to grow and develop a nice fast bowling unit. So not too much to judge on that. But yeah, I think it is also a heavier sort of outfield. But in terms of commitment and effort that the guys have put in, I do not think we can fault that," he added. On inclusion of Anshul Kamboj, who delivered figures of 1/89 in 18 overs leaking runs at almost five an over, Morkel said that the team wanted a bowler which could bowl a "volume" of overs and "ask questions" with accuracy and tough outside off stump deliveries. "And I think Anshul on a domestic level back home has done that. He had done really well on the India A Tour this year (to England, when he took four wickets in two matches and scored a fifty). And he was a guy whose name has been in the mix for a long time. And, you know, they gave him the opportunity for that," he added. On Kamboj bowling in 120s for the most part, Morkel denied any fitness concerns, saying that he is fully fit. "If you look, I wish I could give you that answer, because I would have told him then how to bowl quicker. But he arrived here, he bowled well in the nets, and then obviously we went with what I discussed earlier. Why speeds are so low? I mean, yeah, that is something that we are working on. But he was definitely quicker when you saw him in the India A. And some of the games back home, it was definitely higher pace," he added. England started off their day at 225/2, with Ollie Pope (20*) and Joe Root (11*) unbeaten. The duo went on to have a century partnership, building on exploits of openers Ben Duckett (94 in 100 balls, with 13 fours) and Zak Crawley (84 in 113 balls, with 13 fours and a six), they took England to 332/2 at the first session end, with both having scored their fifties. In the second session, while Washington Sundar (2/57) removed Ollie (71 in 128 balls, seven fours) and Harry Brook (3), skipper Stokes and Root thwarted any further resistance from India as Root completed his 38th Test ton and going past Ricky Ponting to become the second-highest Test run-getter. England ended second session at 433/4, with Stokes and Root unbeaten. Siraj and Bumrah faced fitness issues during the session, having walked off the field, with Bumrah contributing only one over with the new ball. Stokes, while he completed his fifty during the final session went off the field due to trouble in his left leg. Root was removed by Jadeja for a brilliant 150 in 248, consisting of 14 fours. Bumrah and Siraj removed Jamie Smith (9) and Chris Woakes (4) quickly, reducing England to 528/7, but Stokes (77*) came back to bat and along with Liam Dawson (21*) kept any other possible disaster at bay. England ended the day at 544/7, leading by 186 runs. Earlier, England opted to bowl first after winning the toss and India made 358 runs, with half-centuries from Sai Sudharsan (61 in 151 balls, with seven fours), Yashasvi Jaiswal (58 in 107 balls, with 10 fours and a six) and Rishabh Pant (54 in 75 balls, with three fours and two sixes) were major contributions for India. Stokes (5/72) struck tough blows on India, never really letting them settle with a massive partnership.

What is Mohammed Siraj's ‘Siuuu' Celebration And Why Is He Being Mocked For It?
What Is 'Suiii"? Suiii. The popular celebration is often seen on the football field where a player celebrates a goal by leaping into the air, performing a mid-air spin, and landing with arms outstretched, and shouting 'Suiii". The crowd joins the athlete and echoes 'Suiii" to celebrate the goal triumph in unison. 'Sui" in Portuguese means 'yes". The celebration is largely associated with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, who has popularised and made the Suiii celebration a part of his routine every time he scores a goal. Ronaldo's widely recognised signature goal celebration has been imitated globally by several athletes in other sports such as cricket, tennis, and golf. Siraj's Suiii Siraj broke into the Suiii celebrations on Friday during the third day of the fourth Test when he cleaned up Chris Woakes on the first delivery of the 130th over of England's first innings. What's the catch, then? While Siraj's heart might be in the right place to celebrate the deserved wicket, the animated 'Suiii" performed by him after scalping Woakes may have made a few viewers chuckle a bit. Why? Because England were already leading India by a massive margin of 170 runs at the time of Siraj's wicket, and will look to extend the lead on Saturday. The host captain Ben Stokes is going strong at 77, while England still have three wickets in their kitty. At stumps, England were 544 for 7. India, asked to bat first, posted a score of 358 in their first innings. Also Read: Why Is The World's Best Bowler Jasprit Bumrah Getting 'Cooked' On The Internet? 'What Was That, Siraj?" It didn't take much for those who tuned in to the match to come on X and ask Siraj why exactly was he celebrating a 'tailender" wicket. 'Pulling out the 'SIUUU' when you bowl the No.9 with a grubber and you're trailing by 170, hmmm," a user on X remarked. 'dunking the siiiuuu celebration after being 170 behind is soo embarrassing (sic)." Siraj also faced criticism for throwing away India's reviews, yielding no wickets. Woakes was the sole victim of Siraj on the day that belonged to England. The 31-year-old Indian pacer toiled hard for the wicket as he bowled 24 overs, giving away 113 runs at a 4.35 economy rate.
