Mohammed Siraj's compassionate act towards Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has won many hearts. Green was hit on the head by a straight drive from Jasprit Bumrah during the warm-up match between India and Australia A. As soon as the ball hit Green, Siraj, who was on the non-strikers end dropped his bat and rushed to check on the player. The BCCI posted a picture on Twitter where Green can be seen on his knees and Siraj standing next to him.

India will take on Australia in their first pink-ball test in Australia. But the hosts are at a serious disadvantage after losing many of their key players to injury. With Rohit Sharma also set to join the Indian squad, the Blues are in a good position to take the lead in the 5-Test series. Â
