Dinesh Karthik, a former Indian cricket player, called the care provided to Mohammed Siraj a “king-like treatment” when cameras showed the fast bowler getting an ice pack on his head and a foot massage from team physiotherapist Kamlesh Jain. On the last day of the Test, India needs to score 58 runs to win 2-0 and end the series.
At New Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, day four was incredibly seductive. Jokingly, Karthik brought up fellow pundit and former West Indian great Ian Bishop, who reportedly has no hair on his head.
Siraj was given medical assistance when he had a fit during the session after lunch.
After a difficult stretch, the fast bowlers are currently being pampered like royalty. By the way, the situation is the same elsewhere. I only have to inform the audience that it’s not limited to the field, but also occurs in the com box. However, when it comes to Bish (Ian Bishop, who was also in the commentary box), we must exercise caution. He occasionally uses the ice directly on his head to relax. “For Siraj and for Bish [Bishop, his co-commentator,” Karthik said in his commentary.
In relation to Siraj’s numbers, he contributed 1/16 in nine overs and 2/43 in 15 overs in the first and second innings for the West Indies, respectively. With the three wickets he took in the game, he also climbed the mountain to become the highest wicket-taker of 2025. Compared to pacers, spinners received more assistance on this pitch. Sixteen wickets were taken by Kuldeep Yadav.
With his seven wickets in the first Test, Siraj was India’s outstanding player as the team captained by Shubman Gill swept to a 140-run victory. In the first match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Ravindra Jadeja won Player of the Match for his all-around performance (104* and 4/54).
