Siraj played all the five matches of the series, showed the top position fitness levels, and even on the 25th day of the drama, he was breathing fire.
Overall, Mohammad Sirj took 23 wickets in 9 innings at an average of 32.43 and ended as a leading wicket -taking in the series between India and England.
On the other hand, Bumrah faced heavy criticism due to his ‘pick-ends’ act. In particular, Pesar depicted three of the five Test matches to manage his charge.
It was a pre-determined scheme that was growing in the five-match testing series, and he got a green light from the BCCI. Bumrah chose to play the first, third and fourth games, where he bowled 119.4 overs and took 14 wickets.
I really called my son and asked him to play Mohammad Siraj – Irfan Pathan
In a conversation with Revsports, Irfan Pathan recalled how he was in amazement from Mohammad Sirj’s inspirational performance and asked his son to see Pesar’s bowling in the final test at Kennington Oval in London. He explained in detail:
“I think it was one of the best series in Test cricket, whose commentary panel was a part in. Also, where I was watching the last game at home, from his point of view, I really called my son – who was playing in his room – and asked him to play Mohammad Siraj.
“I told him how much the man has struggled in his earlier days due to lack of facilities, which is like my position. His father was an auto rickshaw driver. Siraj’s journey from where he has now reached is an inspiration of a lifetime. He has inspired the youth to the fact that he belongs to where he belongs.
“When you see Mohammad Sirraj Bowl that the kind of spell ball he does, he gets inspired. You get inspired. His determination to think about something else, and just to ensure to win the game for the country, what he had done. What he did. 135 (kmph) speed is prepared for the fifth day of the fifth day of 135 (kmph).”

When you are playing for India and you are there, it’s like a war – Irfan Pathan
Irfan Pathan further excavated a sly digging in Jaspreet Bumrah, stating that he pressures the coach, captain and other players on the needs of the team, giving priority to his work burden.
The all -rounder of former India said that playing for the country is like going to war, and the players should take inspiration from Mohammad Sirj’s performance. Irfan Pathan also insisted on leaving matches against the lower ranked teams to perform all important matches against the choice of England and Australia. He explained in detail:
“When you are playing for India and you are there, it is like a war. While playing in a team, the first responsibility is towards your team. Everything (and) comes in the second place. The country is definitely there, but the first and most important responsibility of a player is towards the team you cannot let go down.
“When the chain is on, it is very difficult to manage things-the coach, captain, at sitera-so the pressure falls directly on another person if you think a lot about the charge. I have talked a lot about it and people have taken those words in a different way, but as a pre—istor, we feel proud when India wins.
“I know that it is not possible that every time we will win, but every time we have to do the right thing and the right thing is that once you go on the field, you will have to think that the way Siraj thought. I am not saying that no one else thinks, but some have mentality or past injuries or the way the body reacts.”
