Ravichandran Ashwin requested Mohammad Sirj to take a different responsibility in India’s second Test
In a detailed analysis on his YouTube channel, Ashwin Hadingley was important for Siraj’s performance in the first test, where India suffered a five -wicket defeat. Ashwin insisted that Siraj does not need to pursue wickets continuously. Instead, he asked, “My only question for Sirj is … Can you dry the run flow? You don’t have to take a wicket. But can’t you give 4-5 runs everywhere? If the runs are leaking, you have to bring Bumrah back into the attack. How many dams will you be able to build Bumrah?”
How Sirj’s aggressive style forced Bumrah to bowl for a long time, despite being on a workload management plan, Ashwin emphasized the need to pressurize the pace of Hyderabad through economy and discipline.
“In addition, he gets tired, and his mantras are pushed, and till then, the participation is forged. Or you have to go with Jadeja, which will have to step into the flow of runs. Prasad is playing for the first time, and he is inexperienced,” The former Indian cricketer said.

Ashwin’s clear blueprint for Edgbaston Test for Siraj
Ashwin did not stop at criticism, he offered a clear blueprint for what Siraj needed to do. Compared to South African Pesar Morne Morkel, Ashwin explained how a support bowler’s magic may define the rhythm of a match.
“So Siraj has to play a bankable role. Remember how Morne Morkel used 2/43 to bowl in 20 overs? It should be his role. In Bajball, you can go for 2/58, I think. Siraj will have to play that role, and if he is effective in it, it will be a big difference,” Cricketing legends shared.
Ashwin clarified that Siraj’s new role is not only about figures, it is about the balance and support of the team. Strict charge with Bumrah is working under limitations, and Prasad krishna Being inexperienced, Ashwin believes that there is a ‘cushion’ between the two on Siraj. Ashwin said that if both Siraj and Prasad leaks, India once again lost control of the match.
“You cannot bowl aggressively in your whole magic. He has to take that responsibility and be a cushion for Bumrah and protect fame, which is new on the shore. Let him choose those wickets throughout the day, and do not let him go to explode and if Sirj needs to continue his style, and also preside” Ashwin concluded.
