One of the great things that this Indian team has is the aggressive way they approach things. The attacking intent that all the players in the squad have, has helped the Indian team reach on top of test cricket. However, in some incidents, over-excited aggression can be a bad thing.

Mohammad Siraj has been one of the finds of 2021 for India. He has added firepower to India's already strong fast bowling unit. He is an interesting person in the field. Siraj gets excited too often, which also helps him in his bowling.

On day five of the first Test at Centurion, Siraj was bowling a fiery spell and Temba Bavuma was facing him. On one of the deliveries, Bavuma pushed the ball towards Siraj, who was in his follow-through. 

Siraj picked the ball from one hand and instantly threw it towards Bavuma. The ball hit Bavuma on the foot and he began jumping in pain. Even though Siraj apologised instantly, but that didn't help Bavuma ease the pain. 

The South African vice-captain had to call the physio and the match had to be halted for a few minutes.
