Unacceptable: Spectators throw ball at Mohammed Siraj!
X
The England crowd continues to disrespect the Indian players by sledging them. While young batsman KL Rahul faced sledging it was Mohammed Siraj who faced the same in the third test.

When Siraj was fielding during England's innings, someone from the crowd threw a ball at him. This had made Virat Kohli obviously angry.

The issue came to light when Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant said this after the play ended on day one of the ongoing third test.

On day one of the play, the spectators tried to make fun of Indian players by asking Siraj what the score was. He gave it back by saying India is one up in the series.

Indian speedster Mohammed Siraj faced racial abuse from the crowd during the Border-Gavaskar trophy. The then capitan Ajinkya Rahane stopped the play and complained to the field umpire.

A similar incident took place in the Lord's test. When champagne corks were thrown at KL Rahul by the crowd, Virat Kohli told Rahul to throw it back on the crowd.
