It took 43 balls for Siraj to capture his first Test wicket when he had the dangerous Labuschagne caught at backward short leg by another Indian debutant, Shubman Gill
It is understood that young Shubman Gill, after a couple of impressive knocks in the warm-up games, is seen as a replacement of Shaw as senior star Rohit Sharma will not be available until the third Test match in Sydney.
Siraj's gesture has taken the internet by storm and the BCCIshared a picture in which Green can be seen on his knees after the fierce blow and Siraj standing next to him and checking on the Australian.
Siraj's father passed away on Friday and the Indian pacer decided to stay with the Indian Test team in Australia, even though the Indian cricket board offered him fly back home
In his twitter handle, Ganguly said: May Mohammed Siraj have a lot of strength to overcome this loss...lots of good wishes for his success in this trip.. tremendous character

Hyderabad pace bowler Mohammed Siraj produced a magical performance picking up three wickets for eight runs in his four-over spell in RCB’s eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders.
