India fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj was pumped up after getting the huge wicket of Ben Duckett on Day 4 of the Lord’s Test in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on Sunday (July 14). The duo even bumped into each other as the pacer went straight up to the batter to celebrate in aggression after the dismissal.
Captain Shubman Gill and other players had to pull the fast-bowler back. The umpires were later seen talking to the Indian captain and bowler to keep things calm. Watch the video...
The England opener was in good touch before getting out on the fifth delivery of the sixth over against Siraj. The Indian bowler adjusted his line outside of off and Duckett could not judge the bounce correctly.

Siraj was one the main players who began the sledging at Duckett and Zak Crawley on Day 3 when the visitors felt the English players were trying to waste time before stumps.
Crawley had pulled out of the delivery a few times when Jasprit Bumrah was bowling and the Indian players could not keep calm when he called out the physio after getting hit by a delivery.

The Siraj-Duckett incident was similar to one happened in 2018 between South Africa's Kagiso Rabada and Australia's Steve Smith. The International Cricket Council (ICC) banned Rabada for one match. Siraj is also at the risk of Level 2 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct.
The laws states that a played can be handed suspension points if it involves inappropriate physical contact, serious dissent at officials decision and a public criticism of a match related incident.
