'Mat kar bhai please...' - Fans slam Mohammed Siraj for being over-aggressive during first Test against Bangladesh

Mohammed Siraj has impressed everyone with his brilliant performance in the first innings of the ongoing first of two-match Test series against Bangladesh. He scalped three wickets and ended up the second-highest wicket-taker following a five-for of Kuldeep Yadav in the same innings. On the back of the Kuldeep-Siraj duo's heroics in the first innings, India wrapped up the hosts only on the score of 150 runs.

Coming back to Siraj, he hasn't been quite impressive in the second innings and has failed to scalp any wicket so far on the fourth day of the game. Apart from his bowling in the match, the 28-year-old is on the receiving end of the trolls from the Indian cricket fans for being an over-aggressive approach on the field.

Fans took to Twitter for advising Siraj not to go with such kind of attitude in the field without having a performance on the field.

Here's how fans reacted:
