Mohammed Siraj‘s outstanding fast bowling performance during the England trip, particularly on the last day of the fifth Test when his captivating five-for helped India tie the series, was praised by former India bowler Yograj Singh.
Siraj took the most wickets at the end of the five-match series. In five games, he took 23 wickets with a strike rate of 48.39 and an average of 32.43. The Hyderabad pacer, who bowled more overs than any other bowler in the series, has received praise for his perseverance and commitment to the nation.
Yograj praised Shubman Gill and remarked that it didn’t look like he was captaining the Test team for the first time, in addition to praising Siraj’s efforts and drawing comparisons to the great Kapil Dev.
“It was incredible to watch our players perform. Mohammed Siraj’s bowling style made me think of Kapil Dev.
Shubman Gill was a mature captain. MSN cited Yograj as saying, “It didn’t seem at all that he was a captain for the first time.”
At Headingley, India lost by five wickets to begin the series. In the second game, though, they recovered well to record their first-ever Test victory at Edgbaston. In what ended up being a humdinger of a match, the Three Lions took back the lead in the third Test at Lord’s. In order to avoid losing the fourth Test at Old Trafford, India shown a great deal of bravery by batting for more than five hours. The most hotly contested match was the fifth and final Test at The Oval, which the tourists won by six runs.
Shubman was the series’ top run scorer at the end. He scored 754 runs at an average of 75.40 in 10 innings. Including a double century in the second Test, he hammered four hundreds. Harry Brook, who also had an incredible campaign with 481 runs at 53.44, shared the Player of the campaign award with the Punjab batsman.
