India’s fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has opened for a better performance for the national team in the absence of Paes Spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. Siraj said that leading the bowling attack leads to confidence, saying that it was time to end speculation around his performance.
Siraj ended the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 as a leading wicket-taker. He took 23 wickets on an average of 32.43, including two five-wicket haws. Jasprit Bumrah, with the disappearance of two matches, led Siraj to the bowling attack and played an important role in winning two Tests during a five -match series in India.
Mohammad Siraj impressed for India in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah
Prior to the tour of England, India’s management planned to play Jasprit Bumrah in three tests. Sirj had to lead the speed attack in his absence. Born in Hyderabad, Pesar improved his performance without Bumrah.

Siraj’s test has a bowling average of 31.05, but it falls to 25 when Bumrah does not occur in XI. In particular, Siraj has a strike rate of 44 balls per wicket without Bumrah and with 57.
The 31 -year -old cricketer took six wickets in the first innings of the second Test at Edgbaston. He raced for another five wickets at the Oval, where he finished the match with nine wickets. Siraj proved his ability to lead the attack and guide the team to win the tests.
I felt that it is time to stop such a thing – Mohammad Siraj
In an interview with Revsports, Mohammad Sirraj was asked about his performance during the Oval Test. He also talked about discussions around his career. Siraj said that he felt that the time is right to respond to the growing nonsense about his performance on the field.
“When I get an opportunity for responsibility, even if you look at a worldly chain, my performance always grows. The responsibility gives me a different kind of enjoyment, and enhances my confidence“Siraj told Revsports,
“I told you in Edgbaston that people are talking about me, and all this is time to stop that thing. I am usually very aware of what I am doing, and people do not pay attention to that people do not know my struggle.
Was trying to spread the belief that we could do it – Mohammad Siraj
Mohammad Siraj credited his better performance in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Siraj said that he maintained a positive atmosphere among his colleagues and inspired bowlers like Akash to rely on their abilities and repeat the previous successes.
“Due to his back injury and not being managed by Jassi Bhai (Jasprit Bumrah), I tried to maintain positivity in the bowling unit. Whenever I was talking to my colleagues, the sky deep and all, I was trying to spread the belief what we could already do.”
Sirj has been released from India’s squad for the upcoming Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates starting on 9 September. Pacar will get a break after the tour of England. Australia is likely to be withdrawn for India’s next assignment on the ODI tour.
