The Story in Brief
Mohammed Siraj will lead India's pace attack in the upcoming two-Test series in Sri Lanka in Jasprit Bumrah's absence. However, concerns have been raised about the 32-year-old fast bowler's recent form. A report on sports.ndtv.com described Siraj as not having looked at his best ahead of the tour, presenting a 'brutal reality-check' for the pacer.
The Indian Opinion
The talk of a 'brutal reality check' for Mohammed Siraj feels overwrought. Every frontline bowler goes through a lean patch, and Siraj has earned his place with years of consistent work. The real test will be whether India's pace attack can take 20 wickets on Sri Lankan pitches without Bumrah. What are Siraj's actual numbers in his last two series, and how many overs has he bowled in the past month?
