Fans have been waiting for the Pink Ball Test for a long time and the competition is getting tougher. On the first day of the match, India batted first and scored 180 runs while the hosts Australia scored 86 runs for 1 wicket by the end of the day’s play. Currently, the Kangaroo team is 94 runs behind India in the first innings. A lot can change in the second day’s play but what happened on the first day shook everyone up. A ball from Md Siraj measured 181.6 kmph which was hard for anyone to believe.
India and Australia are currently playing in the Pink Ball Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide. During India’s bowling on the first day, a picture went viral on social media, in which it was claimed that Mohammad Siraj bowled the ball at a speed of 181.6 km per hour. However, this was due to a technical glitch and later everything was cleared about it.
