During Day 3 of the first Test match between India and Sri Lanka in Galle, Mohammed Siraj nearly caused a scare for the leg umpire, Ahsan Raza. Siraj was fielding close to the boundary when he delivered a powerful throw towards the wicket. However, the ball narrowly missed the leg umpire, who was positioned in its path. Substitute umpire quickly moved away to avoid a possible collision.
India's Ravindra Jadeja found the incident amusing and his reaction quickly gained attention as a highlight of the tense moment. India was fielding well during this day, with Manav Suthar and Jadeja taking a combined total of seven wickets, giving Sri Lanka a score of 284, which left India in a first-innings lead of 178 runs. They came close to enforcing the follow-on, but Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha and Niroshan Dickwella put on a 146-run partnership to steady the innings.
Despite Sri Lanka's resistance, India maintained control of the game, and Siraj's near-miss throw alongside Jadeja's comical reaction was one of the most entertaining moments of the day.
