Siraj won the hearts of fans by dismissing Brandon King with his powerful inswinger. The ball bounced off the pitch and then moved sharply inside the wicket, deceiving the batsman. The West Indies batsman thought the ball would not touch the stumps, so he tried to leave it. But the ball bounced off the pitch and hit the stumps, leaving King stunned and Siraj in celebration.
