His post quickly attracted attention, fans added it to the absence of big names like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, even though the commentator did not name anyone. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had declared their retirement from Test cricket just before the tour of England, which wondered whether India could face their major batsmen, and that too in difficult English conditions.

In particular, Bumrah played three Tests on a tour of England and took 14 wickets. He played in the first, third and fourth matches, and unfortunately, India lost both games, in which the Manchester Test was finished in the draw against England last week.
In particular, Kohli appreciated the Indian cricket team and Mohammad Sirj for his thrilling performance in England.
