gesture while lying down
Actually, Mohammad Siraj was throwing the 104th over on the second day of the final Test match. Australia had lost their set batsmen. His six wickets had fallen. Mitchell Starc and Alex Carey were standing at the crease. He pushed Siraj’s ball slightly to the left of mid-off. Starc forgot that he is a left-handed batsman! Akshar Patel dived to his left and collected the ball with one hand and made a perfect throw. The ball hit straight to the stumps. It was clearly visible in the replays that Stark was far out of the crease. Although Team India started celebrating even before the third umpire’s decision. In this way, Stark was run out after scoring five runs in 20 balls.

Australia lost the toss and scored 469 runs on the scoreboard after losing the toss, riding on brilliant centuries from Travis Head (163) and Steve Smith (121).
