New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra took the wicket in the final over. At the same time his left arm was injured and bleeding. The first ball of the final over was bowled straight by Mitchell Santner. Siraj’s arm was injured when he tried to catch the ball. He went to the physio field and was treated.

Rohit Sharma, Siraj and KL Rahul were in the dugout while India were batting. Coach Dravid sat in front of them. But Siraj is staring at someone. Rohit Siraj who was there hit him on the head. Siraj nodded at this. The video went viral on social media. Fans are wondering why the Indian captain did so.
