Say the word ‘Cristiano Ronaldo’ ask any fan that tells you what image comes to mind. Nine out of 10 times, it would be the Portuguese superstar that makes a skill called ‘step up’ that implies pretending a movement to the side and moving football in the opposite direction.
Mohammed Siraj, Ronaldo’s most burning fan in the International Cricket, has learned to make his own version of the Crick field in the final of the fifth test against England.
Mohammed Siraj, Shubman Gill Bamboozle Zak Crawley to finish day 3 with a wickt
With two remaining balls on the third day of the oval test, Siraj asked Captain Shubman Gill to move one of the Filders inside the circle to the limit of the deep square leg.
This created an anticipation in Crawley’s mind that the Indians had trap for him when playing a gorilla, forcing him to take him to the man in the limit.
But it was the perfect fictitious that Siraj and Gill sold to Crawley, since the next ball was a heartbreaking that slipped under the bat of the first game and shook the stump.
Like any of his great WICKETS, SIRAJ took the celebration of Ronaldo ‘Siuuu’ before visitors left the field with smiles.
Akash Deep tight
Although the wickt was the result of the tactical insight of Siraj and Gill, there were massive contributions from Yashavi Jaiswal, Akash Deep, Washington Sugndar and Ravindra Jadaja that helped India maintain pressure on the openers of England
India needed a target of more than 350 to remain in the game in a launch that still had few grass patches and was costing wildly under a cloud cover.
Jaiswal ended the day with half a century with the night observer Akash Deep for company, but reached his hundred after being left four times by the Filders of England.

An amazing attack on fifty from the deep along with Laadeja reaching its sixth score of more than fifty of the series and a late blitz of 53 of 46 balls of Washington pushed the advantage of India to 373.
Gill caused all efforts to count when closing the scoring areas of Duckett and Crawley, which created pressure on them to take the unusual route towards the limit.
Prasidh Krishna (0-23 of 5 overs) and Deep (0-15 of 5 overs) launched according to the plan for Siraj to reach its first spell and get the Crawley Wickt.
