Highlights
- Mohammad Siraj’s drama before Edgbaston Test
- Bet broken during practice session
- Increased responsibility in the absence of Jaspreet Bumrah
New Delhi: Before the second Test against England starting from July 2, Team India is preparing loudly in Birmingham. But amidst these serious practice sessions, fast bowler Mohammad Siraj came into the discussion about a funny incident.
Siraj’s bat broke during batting practice in the nets. He first looked angry, said- ‘How did my bat break? Who broke man? ‘ But in a few seconds anger turned into laughter and Siraj moved forward smiling. This mild moment definitely gave some relief in the intensive environment.
The lower -order batting in the Leeds Test had disappointed a lot, so coach Gautam Gambhir and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak want the bowlers to contribute with the bat. Siraj is also practicing for hours by taking the role of the tail batsman seriously.
Bumrah out, new pressure on Siraj
While Siraj was having fun on the one hand, on the other hand, in the team camp, concern is about the fitness of Bumrah. Team management is cautious about their workload and it is expected that they will rest in Edgbaston Test. Gautam Gambhir has already made it clear that Bumrah will not play the entire five Tests.
