IND vs ENG: Siraj became the most successful Indian bowler in the Birmingham Test, gave a fitting response to critics

In the rescheduled fifth game of the series against England, R Ashwin was not included in the playing XI. Many critics couldn’t digest this, many fans were also disappointed. It was more infuriating to the people that Mohammad Siraj had precedence over the great Indian spinner. Angry and disappointed critics and fans are quiet on the third day of the game. Siraj has made everyone happy with his performance.

The Indian pacemaker took four wickets, one after another, in England’s opening innings on day three of the Edgbaston Test. The process of taking land began on the second day. Siraj, who came to bat after scoring 416 runs in the first innings for India, sent the English team’s highest batsman to the pavilion at the end of the day. He dismissed the match for India by dismissing Joe Root with a personal score of 31 runs.

Siraj was the most successful bowler of the Indian team on the third day of the match. He took three wickets in the five wickets England dropped throughout the day. Siraj sent Sam Billings at the crease to the pavilion for 36 runs. At the same time, Stuart Broad and Matthew Potts, who had good hitting ability, were also his victims. Broad another Potts had 19 runs and succumbed to Siraj. Siraj took four wickets in the first innings throwing 11.3 overs.

Had Ashwin been in Siraj’s place in this match, he may not have been as successful. This is not just rhetoric, Ravindra Jadeja’s performance indicates it. Jadeja was left empty-handed and with the ball in this game. The tone and condition indication was nothing more than a code for the spinners.
