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.

Delhi Polls: BJP faces protest, placates MLA amid resentment over ticket distribution
New Delhi, Jan 12: Resentment surfaced in the BJP on Sunday over ticket distribution for Delhi Assembly polls, with a protest held outside its Delhi unit office and an angry outburst by the outgoing MLA from Karawal Nagar who was not included in the candidate list released a day earlier.
As MLA Mohan Singh Bisht threatened to revolt after being denied a ticket from Karawal Nagar, the party rushed to control the damage and announced his candidature from the Mustafabad seat this evening.
A group of protesters from Tughlakabad in South Delhi held a dharna at the gate of the Delhi BJP office, demanding a change in the candidate from the constituency.
"Vikram Bidhuri Tum Sangharsh Karo; Modi Se Bair Nahi, Rohtas Teri Khair Nahi," the protesters, including mostly youngsters, chanted as the party leaders tried to pacify them.
In the second list of BJP candidates for the polls declared on Saturday, Rohtas Bidhuri was fielded from the Tughlakabad seat. In 2020 Assembly polls, Vikram Bidhuri who is a relative of senior party leader Ramesh Bidhuri, lost to AAP's Sahiram by over 13,000 votes.
A similar protest was also held by some party workers outside the Delhi BJP office against Mehrauli candidate Gajainder Yadav after the announcement of the first list of candidates earlier this month.
Bisht, the senior-most BJP MLA in the outgoing Assembly elected five times from Karawal Nagar, openly expressed unhappiness over being denied the ticket to contest from his stronghold.
A senior party leader said he was pacified after a meeting with BJP chief JP Nadda.
Bisht, after getting the ticket from Mustafabad, expressed confidence that he would win the seat for the BJP.
"I met the national president and things were ironed out. I have assured that I will contest from Mustafabad and win the seat for the party," Bisht told PTI.
The MLA said he and the BJP had considerable support in Mustafabad and he has already attended two public meetings there.
The BJP won the Mustafabad seat, having a significant minority community presence, in the 2015 Assembly polls but lost it to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in 2020.
Earlier in the day, Bisht told PTI that the party's decision to replace him with Kapil Mishra was "wrong" and its consequences will be visible after voting on February 5.
"You have challenged the 'samaj' (his Uttarakhandi community), not Mohan Singh Bisht. The BJP will lose at least 8-10 seats because of this decision, including Karawal Nagar, Burari, Mustafabad and Gokalpuri," Bisht warned.
The BJP fielded Kapil Mishra, a Hindutva hardliner, from Karwal Nagar in North East Delhi, which was rocked by massive communal violence just after the 2020 Assembly polls.
Sources in the party claimed that there was also "deep resentment" among the Delhi BJP's Scheduled Castes Morcha leaders over being denied tickets from different constituencies including Madipur and Kondli.
A top Delhi BJP functionary stressed that there are many ticket aspirants, so it is natural for those who did not get selected to feel disappointed.
"The BJP is a disciplined party and its leaders understand this. Sooner or later, everyone will realise this and work for the victory of the party giving up their resentment," he said.
The elections to 70 Assembly seats in Delhi are scheduled on February 5. Results will be out after the counting of votes on February 8.
The BJP, out of power in Delhi since 1998, is making all-out efforts to return to power. In the 2015 and 2020 Assembly polls, the party was completely routed by the AAP, scraping through with just three and eight seats, respectively.
