Siraj and Jadeja were involved in a mix-up in the 62nd over of India's innings. Ravindra Jadeja took a single on the fourth ball of the over with an expectation that Mohammed Siraj would defend the last two balls of the series to give Jadeja back the strike.
Both of them somehow completed the single but Jadeja was clearly not happy with Mohammed Siraj as the duo was involved in a mid-pitch conversation during the run.
After seeing the whole incident, Sunil Gavaskar slammed Mohammed Siraj and even questioned his "cricketing awareness". He also mentioned that Siraj should be thinking about his team first rather than taking risky singles.
"It looks to be in a very casual manner. Look at that. There's got to be some cricketing awareness. You are a no.9 batter. You have to think about team. You cannot think of taking risky singles," he added.

The incident proves costly for Inida
Starc got the wicket of Siraj on the last ball of the over when he had had him caught behind the wickets to Alex Carey. He was dismissed for just 1 off 11 balls. It was the loss of eighth wicket for India.
Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep avoid the follow-on
Both Bumrah and Akash Deep are still at the crease and their partnership is unbeaten on 39 runs at the moment. Akash slammed a four over gully to avoid the follow-on, prompting Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir to give a memorable reaction.
Mohammed Siraj was earlier promoted to No. 9 ahead of Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep. He didn't have a great time with the ball earlier as he finished with 2-97 in 23.2 overs.
