Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has revealed a clever mental strategy that he lived fierce during the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy against England. Mohammad Sirj admitted that he deliberately avoids watching or speaking at England’s batting Ustad Maestro Joe Root in the Test series.
Siraj, who ended as a leading wicket-taker in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with 23 scalps, said that the calm and friendly performances of the root naturally calm and relaxed them, who can reduce their edge and aggression while bowling.
Mohammad Siraj revealed mental move against Joe Root
To remain focused and furious, the Indian fast bowler decided to talk and even ignore eye contact with the route. Siraj also revealed that he still ignored the route when he tried to chat during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

In fact, the former England captain had commented that Siraj sometimes extracts his anger on the field during the five-match testing series, but Siraj insisted that his anger is real and it becomes easier after taking wickets only. In particular, Root said during the test series, “He (Siraj) has sometimes found fake anger about them, which I can see properly.”
Whenever I see the route, a smile automatically comes to my face: Mohammad Sirj
Mohammad Sirraj was quoted by the Indian Express saying: “No, I get angry, and it does not fade quickly. My anger disappears only after getting one wicket. As for the root, he is a world -class batsman for the route. When he is facing me, he sees me smiling at any time.
He is the first person who sees me and smiles when I see him. Therefore, during the tour of England, I decided that I was not going to see or talk to him. Even if he was at the end of the non-strayer and I was fielding on the mid-off, he would come to talk to me, but I will not talk to him. I will just walk somewhere else. ,

Mohammad Siraj revealed the secret behind his on-field fire
Meanwhile, Siraj has opened the secret behind his fiery on-field personality. The fierce Indian fast bowler revealed how he balances acute aggression while remaining calm from the field. Sirj, who is known for his tireless energy during matches, admitted that he learned the art from South African fast-bouled legend del Stan.
Siraj explained that he is going out of the field calmly, comfortably and easily, but the moment he steps on the pitch for India handles his competitive spirit. Even a single border against him can trigger the growth of anger, which can push him to give a tough competition.
He signed the aggression as a fast bowler, I learned from Dale Stan, which I used to follow. The aggression is very important. If a batsman kills you and you are resting and you are resting … then what kind of cricket is?
In particular, Sirj returned to India’s ODI squad after more than a year for the upcoming Australia tour in England. He is an important member of India’s testing side, but lost his place for the youth in T20I, but now he once again has great possibility to strengthen his place in the ODI once again.
