melbourneThere is a very old saying that becoming apne muhn miyan mittu means keep praising yourself no matter what the work is, Team India also has a player who is known by the name of Miyan ji and is also apne muhn ke mittu.. his name is Mohammad. Siraj’s job is to take wickets and support Bumrah but he is doing something else.
Siraj is zero in the name of taking wickets, hero in giving away runs and instead of sharing the burden of Bumrah, the burden is being increased. Melbourne also did not remain untouched by this. The work which remained incomplete for Siraj in Adelaide and Brisbane was completed by Mian ji in Melbourne.
Siraj’s century in Melbourne!
Australia scored 474 runs in the Boxing Day Test, in which Siraj contributed as much as Steve Smith. Smith scored a century by scoring runs and Siraj scored a century by giving away runs. Siraj was badly beaten by all the Australian batsmen in Melbourne. Siraj gave away 122 runs in 23 overs and could not take any wicket. Siraj’s economy was 5.3. Before this, Siraj gave 98 runs in Adelaide and then gave away 97 runs in Brisbane, that is, the regret of not scoring a century on two grounds was fulfilled by Mian ji in Melbourne.
Siraj became a burden for Team India
After Shami’s injury, the team management was looking at Mohammed Siraj as Bumrah’s partner, but on this Australian tour, his fate was exposed or rather the eyes of the fans were opened. Siraj has not been able to take any wicket 22 times out of 64 innings of 36 Tests. He has been able to take a total of 27 wickets in the last 24 innings. So far on this Australian tour, Siraj has taken only 13 wickets at an average of 33.3. On one hand, the Indian team management is not able to overcome the form of the batsmen, while on the other hand, Siraj’s failure has created a new problem.
