India’s sensational pacer Mohammed Siraj found himself at the receiving end of trolling on the final day of the Boxing Day Test match against South Africa in Centurion after he hurled a throw at South Africa’s vice-captain Temba Bavuma.
Well, during day 5 of the just concluded Boxing Day Test, Temba Bavuma was seen hopping before he went down in pain as Mohammed Siraj hurled a throw back at him and hit him accidentally.
The incident took place in the 62nd over of the innings, when Bavuma defended a ball back to Siraj and as it rolled back to Siraj, the pacer, in the heat of the moment, picked it up and threw it back at him accidentally hitting.
Immediately after copping the blow, Bavuma started hopping before Siraj realized what happened. He walked up to the Proteas vice-captain and apologized to him. keeping his hand on his shoulders. However, the impact of the blow was so huge that Bavuma went down in pain, forcing the physio to rush to the ground to treat Bavuma.
Because of the same the play was halted for a brief period as Bavuma received treatment. Thankfully, there was no major damage to the vice-captain and after a while, he was back on his feet and carried on with the game. The video of the same has been going crazily viral on the internet.

While the temper didn’t flare between Siran and Bavuma, fans on Twitter weren’t impressed with the aggression of Mohammed Shami. Fans on social media got carried away and started trolling Siraj for his unnecessary aggression. There were many who felt a suspension is on its way for the 27-year-old quick.
Here, check out how fans trolled Siraj:

Unnecessary aggression from Siraj there hurting Bavuma in the process! Skipper Kohli n Rahul Sir has to give him some lessons on this as the same behaviour could well be repeated with our batters which may lead 2 a serious injury!Let the aggression be limited 2 intent n celeb.

Pretty bad move from Siraj
Hope Bavuma is good— Ragul18 (@Ragul184) December 30, 2021
Unbelievable and totally unnecessary from Siraj, must be some kind of sanction for this. And worse he’s cost his team time as they patch up Bavuma, I hope the rain comes in after lunch. Good professionalism from Bavuma.

If Bavuma gets something on the scans later on, Siraj should get one match ban… #SAvIND #BoxingDayTest

Good show by Bavuma. Not whining. Not even asking for anything to waste time. It is the bosses up there who wanted to check out, everything is OK. So everything is fine.
Except for that stupid throw. “Thank you” Siraj! https://t.co/cpS5fzAblf— Jose Puliampatta (@JosePuliampatta) December 30, 2021
Ridiculous from Mohammed Siraj throwing the ball at Temba Bavuma who was in his crease clearly not attempting a run – should be penalty runs to South Africa for unfair play #SAvIND #sscricket
