Do not bowl with your heart, bowl with your mind – Mohammad Kaif on Mohammad Sirj
Mohammad Siraj has come under investigation not only for his batting but also for his bowling performance in the first Test of the ongoing series. Siraj failed to provide assistance to Jasprit Bumrah, especially in the first innings, where his inconsistent line and length allowed England to capital.
The fast bowler bowled with more control in the second innings and gave a strict inauguration mantra, but struggled to take wickets. Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif advised Siraj to focus his attention with raw efforts.
“People say that Mohammad Sirj tried hard, bowled with his heart. Sir, don’t bowl with your heart, bowl with your mind and where we can get wickets with line and length,” Kaif said on his YouTube channel (through Hindustan Times).
