Netizens react as Siraj gets wicket on the very first ball of the innings
Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj struck on his very first ball of the innings against Bangladesh at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. Siraj dismissed Najmul Hossain Shanto for a golden duck as the former obtained a thick outside edge when he tried to play the off-side delivery.
