Delhi: Star fast bowler Mohammad Siraj’s brilliant bowling has strengthened India’s hopes of victory in the second Test. When the England team had lost five wickets for 387 runs and Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184*) were standing on the ground, it seemed that England would reach India’s score of 587 runs. However, Siraj stopped England’s innings for 407 runs with his fast and accurate bowling.

In the absence of Jaspreet Bumrah, the style of fulfilling this responsibility of Siraj impressed everyone. He was praised by veterans like Shubman Gill, Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar on his performance. Sachin Tendulkar wrote on social media that the biggest improvement in Siraj’s bowling is his line and length accuracy. He wrote that he got the reward of Siraj’s hard work and patience as 6 wickets. He also appreciated the performance of Akash Deep.
Sachin also praised Brook and Smith’s 303 -run partnership and said that he batted brilliantly under pressure and brought England to India’s score.
