India vs Bangladesh: Mohammed Siraj's Celebration Can't Be Missed After KL Rahul's Stupendous Catch During Cricket World Cup 2023 - Watch

Indian cricket team fast bowler Mohammed Siraj's animated celebrations following the dismissal of Bangladesh batter Mehidy Hasan Miraz during their Cricket World Cup 2023 match on Thursday. Miraz tried playing the delivery down the leg side but ended up getting a fine edge on the ball. The ball was travelling quite fast behind the stumps but KL Rahul was up to the challenge and he pulled off a full length dive to complete one of the most impressive catches of this year's Cricket World Cup till now. Siraj was visibly excited at the dismissal and he put his finger on the lips before giving a send-off to the batter.

India lost Pandya as early as in the ninth over, when he tried to stop a straight drive off Litton Das' bat with his right foot and fell on the ground. Pandya received initial treatment on the field but as he began moving to his bowling mark, it became clear he would not continue and left the field subsequently.

The BCCI informed later that Pandya had been taken for scans, and former England captain Nasser Hussain said on air he would be available to bat in the second innings, but an official confirmation on that was awaited.
