Mohammed Siraj made a celebratory appeal against Marnus Labuschagne in the fourth delivery of the 36th over during the second Test. He was so sure that the batsman was out and didn’t even bother to look back, but the on-field umpire remained unmoved.

Siraj bowled a long delivery with an incoming angle, and the ball instantly hit Labuschagne’s pads, and the entire team appealed. However, Richard Illingworth downplayed the appeal and, after a brief discussion, India decided not to conduct the review.

Replays later confirmed an inside advantage before the ball hit the bag, and the umpire had made an excellent call, even though it looked very close to the naked eye. Except for Siraj, everyone heard an internal sound, but the player was immediately convinced that he had his man, as is often the case with bowlers.

That celebratory appeal instantly captured attention and became a topic of conversation on social media platforms, largely due to the confidence with which Siraj appealed. Sometimes you are overloaded and involved in such activities, so emotions overtake sanity, and something similar developed during this incident.
