Mohammed Siraj paid a tribute to Diogo Jota after dismissing Jamie Smith on Day 2 of the IND vs ENG 3rd Test 2025 at the Lord's Cricket Ground on July 11. The pacer struck in the second over after the lunch break and found an outside edge of Jamie Smith's bat with Dhruv Jurel taking a simple catch and after the dismissal, he gestured '20' with his hands, signalling the late footballer's Liverpool jersey number. Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, tragically passed away after being involved in a car accident in Spain. This tragic incident happened weeks after the Portugal star had tied the knot with his childhood love, Rute Cardoso.ย โWhereโs the Bazball?โ Mohammed Siraj Sledges Joe Root While Bowling While Referencing Englandโs Slow Batting Approach During IND vs ENG 3rd Test 2025 (Watch Video).
