This moment happened on the third ball of the 38th over of Australia’s innings. Mohammad Siraj presented a funny moment while fielding near the boundary. As he jumped to stop the ball from reaching the ropes, his pants got caught awkwardly and slipped down.
However, she was wearing black compression shorts underneath. The incident surprised both fans and commentators. Siraj managed to stop the ball from crossing the boundary line as it hit his body and rolled back into the field.

Mohammed Siraj dropped a dolly on the ball of Matthew Short on the ball of Washington Sundar.
Earlier in the match, Mohammad Siraj had missed an important opportunity to dismiss Matthew Short. Well set on 53, Short played a cross-bat drive through cover which ended at backward point. The ball went straight into Siraj’s hands, but he failed to stay. Australia’s score at that time was 139/4.
Siraj compensated for his mistake on the last ball of the 36th over. Harshit Rana bowled a short ball which Short tried to attack and Siraj completed the catch. Short had to return to the dressing room after scoring 74 runs from 78 balls, which included four fours and two sixes.
India managed to remove the set batsmen, but Short had already made significant contributions to Australia’s total, leaving the hosts in a good position at 187/5 during the run chase.
