Over the years, we have seen cricketers from different countries showing their different sides while singing the national anthem. On Thursday, on Day1 of the third Test between India and Australia, the Indian fans got to witness one such incident.

Mohammed Siraj, who made a memorable debut in the longest format of the game for India in Melbourne, arrived in Sydney hoping to continue the same level of performance. He stood in the heart of the stadium shoulder-to-shoulder with his teammates as the national anthem started to play in the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, Siraj broke down.
Tears started rolling down his cheeks which Siraj casually wiped away. The video of the same was shared by the official Twitter handle of Cricket Australia.
