During Day 2 of the India vs England Test match at Lord’s, a touching moment occurred. India’s fast bowler Mohammed Siraj gave an emotional tribute to the late footballer Diogo Jota. The Liverpool player sadly passed away in a car accident last week along with his brother, Andre Silva. After a tough morning on the field, Siraj finally got a wicket in the second session. He celebrated by showing the number 20 with his fingers and looking up to the sky, a clear and touched sign of respect.
Sirajβs Special Tribute
Mohammed Siraj had a tough start to the day at Lord’s with missed chances and dropped catches. But in the second session, he took the wicket of Jamie Smith. What stood out more was his special celebration. Siraj made the number 20 sign with his finger, Jota’s jersey number, and raised both hands to the sky. This simple and emotional gesture was his way of remembering Diogo Jota, the Liverpool footballer who died in a recent car crash. It was a touching moment that showed how sports can connect people across games and countries.
