Mohammed Siraj on Friday became an internet sensation across the globe for displaying ‘great humanity’ during India A’s tour match against Australia A. Siraj’s batting partner Jasprit Bumrah, on the hand, has left everyone in splits for choosing to complete his run even when his straight drive had left Australian bowler Cameron Green in agony.
Batting first, India were bowled out for 194 with Bumrah scoring his first-ever first-class fifty. While batting, one of Bumrah’s straight drives hit Green on the head, making him collapse to the ground. Mohammed Siraj, who was batting at the non-striker’s end instinctively dropped his bat and ran towards Green even as Bumrah continued to complete his run.
Siraj’s act earned him plaudits across the globe with everyone hailing his extraordinary act of humanity on a sports ground.
How is this for sportsmanship? Green cops one in the face, Siraj goes straight to check on him. ???? #AUSAvIND #AUSAvINDA pic.twitter.com/ivPYyFF4qa

Non-striker batsman Mohd Siraj quickly rushed to check on Cameron Green, who got hit on the head by a Jasprit Bumrah straight drive.

Bumrah’s act, on the other hand, evoked hilarious responses from Twitterati. One wondered if he had spent some time with Jofra Archer during the IPL to become selfish on the ground. They were referring to The incident in the 2019 ashes series where Jofra Archer mocked Australian batsman Matthew Wade after hitting him on the shoulder with a nasty delivery. Another user highlighted how Bumrah had gone on to complete his run even after checking on Green despite knowing that his run wouldn’t be counted.
Australia A were bowled out for 108 with Mohammad Shami and Navdeep Saini claiming three wickets each while Bumrah took two wickets and Siraj dismissed one batsman.

Rohit Sharma lashes out at IPL broadcasters for breaching privacy
New Delhi, May 19: India skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday lashed out at the IPL broadcasters for "breaching" cricketers' privacy by recording their conversations with friends and colleagues at training and on match days and then telecasting the contents.
Rohit expressed his disappointment after a video involving him and Kolkata Knight Riders assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, in which the former is seen contemplating his future at the Mumbai Indians, went viral.
"The lives of cricketers have become so intrusive that cameras are now recording every step and conversation we are having in privacy with our friends and colleagues, at training or on match days," Rohit posted on X.
He added, "Despite asking Star Sports to not record my conversation, it was and was also then played on air, which is a breach of privacy."
"The need to get exclusive content and focused only on views and engagement will one day break the trust between the fans, cricketers and cricket. Let better sense prevail."
Rohit was seen making a request to the broadcasters to shut down the audio while recording him after his chat with Nayar. The conversation between the two took place after MI's IPL fixture against KKR on May 11.
The audio of the chat was posted by KKR on their social media handle and fans assumed that the cricketer is speaking about leaving MI after the ongoing season.
Following the controversy, the video was taken down by the Knight Riders' social media team.
Few days after that, on May 17, Rohit was once again seen having a chat with Dhawal Kulkarni ahead of MI's fixture against Lucknow Super Giants. Seeing himself being recorded, the opener, with folded hands, requested the broadcaster to turn off the audio as one audio has already got him into trouble.
"Bhai audio band karo haan, already ek audio ne mera waat laga diya (Brother please close the audio, one audio has already made things difficult for me)," said Sharma in the video that also went viral.
