BGT 2023: Check Netizens Reaction After Siraj, Shami Give Brilliant Start To India

Pacers Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami got India off to a flying start in the opening Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia on Thursday in Nagpur. The pacers who started the bowling for India after Australia chose to bat struck early, dismissing both openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner within the first three overs.

Warner was out on the first ball of Shami's third over. A ball from around the wicket raced through the bat-pad gap to uproot the off-stump and cleaned him up. Before the start of the series, they were high discussions about the pitch and spinner, but pacers rattled the Australian openers. Netizens applauded the pacers after picking two crucial wickets.

Here are the reactions:

So much chirp around spin rank turner pitch & puzzling the minds for Ausies.

Shami Siraj had different plans.

@CricketAus were complaining about the pitch being unfair and extra-helpful for the spinners. I mean Shami and Siraj are not the spinners by the way, who already dismantled their top order within blink of an eye. They are 2-2 now 😁🤣.#INDvsAUS#BGT2023
