During the 24th over, Mohammed Siraj’s final delivery displayed a record-shattering speed, which was clearly an error
Mohammed Siraj bowled 10 overs on the opening day of the day-night Test against Australia in Adelaide. Though he couldn’t add anything to the wicket column, he did surprise everyone with his speed.
A technical glitch from the official broadcaster showed Siraj clocking as fast as 181.6 kph. During the 24th over, the right-arm quick’s final delivery displayed a record-shattering speed, which was clearly an error, prompting a wave of memes on social media.
The match had its share of drama as well. Just before the fifth ball, Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne stepped away from the crease, pointing to a distraction caused by a fan holding a beer snake near the sight screen. This irked Siraj, who expressed his frustration by exchanging sharp words with Labuschagne, creating a tense and fiery moment on the field.

The pink-ball day-night match, part of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, experienced not one but two power outages, adding an unusual twist to the opening day’s play.
