Mohammed Siraj asked about IND vs PAK WCL match cancellation, his three-word reply goes viral

India are all set to face off against England for the 4th Test match at hte Old Trafford Cricket stadium in Manchester from 23rd July. Ahead of the match, pacer Mohammed Siraj adress the customary pre-match press conference where he was asked a range of questions but it was one question that completely took him off guards. 

During the briefing, an English reporter asked Siraj about the recent India vs Pakistan match cancellation of the World Championship of Legends. The 31 year old pacer was visibly shaken by the question and just replied "I don't know," 

The reporter then asked up a follow up question on if Siraj would be comfortable playing against Pakistan in an international match to which the pacer again replied, 'I don't know what to say.'

The Indian pacer looked heartbroken as he refused to budge from the ground in horror of how the ball had went on to hit the stumps. During the press conference, Siraj admitted that the Lord's loss stung and he was ‘extremely disappointed’ by the result. 

“It obviously hurts when you get out despite middling the ball. The way our (Ravindra Jadeja's and my) partnership was going, I felt I wouldn't get out. I was that confident. But unfortunately, it didn't happen that way, and I was extremely disappointed. Had we won the game from there, it would have been a different result altogether.” Siraj told the reporters.

India are currently trailing in the series 2-1 and the match against England in Machester is a must win for them if they want to continue to compete in the series. The Indian side, however, have been struck with multiple injuries which has seen Nitish Kumar Reddy ruled out whole series while Arshdeep Singh has been ruled out of the 4th Test match. Selectors have roped in Anshul Kamboj to replace Reddy in the Indian squad.
