Thus, the ball beat the inside edge and uprooted the off stump. Speaking of his innings, he got hit twice by Indian bowlers. First, Mohammed Siraj hit his left thumb on the first delivery of the eight over. Then, Umesh Yadav hit the thumb again on the fourth delivery of the 17th over. He managed only to hit three fours.
