Team India speedster Mohammed Siraj delivered a sharp bouncer to Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday, October 16. Marsh was struck on his helmet by the well-directed short-pitched delivery from Siraj during Australia’s run chase.
India, led by Shubman Gill, scored 136 runs for the loss of nine wickets in the allotted 26 overs in the rain-curtailed clash. Wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul was India’s top scorer with 38 runs off 31 balls, including two fours and as many sixes. Axar Patel and Nitish Kumar Reddy also chipped in with crucial runs.
Watch: Mohammed Siraj Hits Mitchell Marsh on the Head With a Dangerous Delivery
On the final ball of the 7th over in Australia’s innings, Mohammed Siraj bowled a short ball that struck Mitchell Marsh on the helmet. The delivery, bowled at around 138 kmph, kicked up sharply from a good length and hit Marsh on the side of the grille as he mistimed his pull shot.
Siraj and KL Rahul immediately walked up to check on Marsh, showing sportsmanship. The Australian physio quickly entered the field to conduct the mandatory concussion test. Marsh was fit to continue, as the blow caused no serious harm.
Marsh removed his skull protector, smiled, and continued after clearing the medical check. Australia maintained control of the chase after the early dismissal of Travis Head.
