Tensions Flare! Mohammed Siraj Gets Into Heated Exchange With Lesego Senokwane During IND-A vs SA-A Match; Video

India A pacer Mohammed Siraj found himself at the center of a fiery moment during the unofficial Test match against South Africa A in Bengaluru after an on-field altercation with South African batter Lesego Senokwane. The incident took place during a tense session when Siraj was in the middle of a sharp spell that tested both the skill and composure of the visiting batters.

While Senokwane was battling hard against Siraj’s pace and bounce, one particular delivery turned into an uncomfortable episode. The Indian fast bowler bowled a quick ball that struck Senokwane painfully in the box, forcing the batter to double over in pain. As Senokwane tried to recover, Siraj, who is known for his intensity, exchanged a few heated words with him. The brief confrontation added drama to what was already a charged atmosphere on the field.

Although the blow looked painful, Senokwane eventually regained his composure and continued batting. Siraj, on the other hand, maintained his aggression and kept bowling with fierce intent, trying to break through South Africa A’s resistance. The altercation didn’t escalate further, but it was a clear reflection of Siraj’s fiery nature, one that often fuels his performances rather than distracts him.
