Mohammed Siraj fined 15 per cent of his match fee for Ben Duckett sendoff
India's Mohammed Siraj has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for his sendoff to Ben Duckett after dismissing the England batter in the third Test at Lord's. Siraj's aggressive celebrations after picking up Duckett's wicket included their shoulders brushing against each other as the England batter walked back to the hut. Siraj also let out a couple of roars and stared at the batter in anger. The incident happened in the second innings of England, when Siraj dismissed Duckett for 12 to give India its first wicket. Just two balls earlier, the batter had hit Siraj for a boundary. But the pacer had hit back after managing to get Duckett to hit the ball into the palms of Jasprit Bumrah. The Indian pacer has also been docked a demerit point – his second in a 24-month period. This means that Siraj is walking a tightrope going forward: four or more demerit points within a 24-month period are converted into suspension points and a player is banned. An ICC statement on the incident noted that the Indian pacer 'was guilty of breaching Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match.' The ICC statement added: 'After the dismissal, Siraj celebrated close to the batter in his follow-through and made contact as Duckett began his walk back to the Lord's long room.' The game has seen tempers rise as both sides are trying to win the Lord's Test and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. The third Test — and the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy — is finely poised with India needing 135 runs more to secure their second victory in the series. England, meanwhile, need six wickets to go 2-1 up. 'Find this ridiculous. Siraj (fined) 15% for aggressive celebration. Gill swears live on tv & carries on and what? It's either both or neither. Players aren't and shouldn't be robots but consistency is key,' wrote former England cricketer Stuart Broad on X.

Shubman Gill's Lord's outburst draws comparisons to Virat Kohli's aggressive captaincy style
For years, Shubman Gill has been hailed as the golden boy of Indian cricket: all grace, timing, and effortless charm. But on July 13 at Lord's, the usually composed India captain tore off that genteel mask to confront England's Zak Crawley for what he believed was deliberate time-wasting. The last over of Day 3, already a pressure cooker, exploded into verbal fireworks as Gill stormed toward Crawley, sarcastically clapping and throwing verbal jabs. The fiery incident didn't just rattle the English; it also reignited debates over whether Gill is morphing into the next Virat Kohli, both in style and spirit. The incident: Crawley's delay sparks verbal duel With six minutes left on the clock, India had time to bowl two overs. But Crawley, nursing what looked like a suspiciously sudden hand injury, stalled. Sensing a tactical delay, Gill lost patience. As reported by NDTV Sports, the Indian skipper charged Crawley and lashed out. Ben Duckett stepped in, only to receive his share of the captain's rage. The situation prompted former England batter Jonathan Trott to criticize Gill's outburst, calling it 'reminiscent of a previous captain,' a thinly veiled reference to Virat Kohli. Trott took issue with what he saw as 'acting' from Gill, adding that confrontational behavior diminishes the spirit of the game. Yet to many fans, this was more than drama—it was Gill asserting leadership, refusing to be manipulated by tactics. Shubman Gill: Not just a poster boy The Lord's confrontation was not a one-off. Gill has a history of verbal jousts, from jabbing Jimmy Anderson last year to sledging alongside his teammates in recent Tests. His rise through North India's ultra-competitive cricket circuit ensured he never shied away from confrontation—he simply hadn't needed to show it until now. KL Rahul confirmed the team had expected two overs to be bowled and was frustrated by England's theatrics. Jos Buttler, Gill's IPL teammate, had already predicted that the young captain would blend Kohli's intensity with Rohit Sharma's calm. On Saturday, it was Kohli's imprint that was unmistakable. A new India under Gill and Gambhir? The episode also offered insight into India's evolving team culture. Coach Gautam Gambhir, no stranger to on-field aggression, has seemingly given his players and captain the license to fight back. Verbal jabs are no longer incidental; they are part of the playbook. Whether it's Siraj mocking 'Bazball' or Gill confronting Crawley, this is a team that talks—and won't be talked down to. As the Test series hangs in the balance, one thing is clear: the nice-guy image of Shubman Gill has changed. For better or worse, there's now a visible edge to the captain, one that carries echoes of Kohli's relentless fire.
