IND VS AUS: You will be surprised to know the secret of Siraj being in the team, a weak link which became a big problem for the team.

brisbaneIt is said that in any format, bowlers win the match, be it Test cricket, ODI or T20. The story of the Indian team on the Australia tour seems to be a bit stuck because the batsmen were not scoring runs in the first place. The light performance of the bowlers has made up for it. So far, no fast bowler except Jasprit Bumrah has been able to make an impact in the 3 test matches. The result: Despite a bad start in Adelaide and then Brisbane, India managed to score big scores and the pressure came on India.

The biggest problem of the Indian team has been the very ordinary performance of Siraj. Siraj’s name has been in the team for the last several tours as a senior bowler along with Bumrah, but his performance is worse than that of any junior bowler. The surprising thing is that despite continuous failures, Siraj remains in the playing eleven. Even after Perth and Adelaide, they were fed with great expectations in Brisbane but like every time, they disappointed.

There is a question about Siraj’s stay in the team

After Shami’s injury, it was expected that Siraj would not let him miss him but exactly the opposite happened. He has not been able to do anything special with Bumrah as his new ball partner. These figures of Siraj will surprise you too and will force you to think how Mian ji is in the team with such a bad record. Siraj has not taken any wicket in 21 innings of 34 Tests. Siraj has been able to take only 22 wickets in the last 21 innings. In this also he has not got any wicket in 11 innings. Earlier this year, Siraj had taken 6 wickets against South Africa and since then he has not been able to take 5 wickets even once. Before coming to Australia, Siraj was able to take two wickets in two matches against New Zealand and 4 wickets in two matches against Bangladesh. It is surprising when it is known that Siraj is the main bowler of the team who has only 90 wickets in his name in 34 Tests at an average of 30.28. Bumrah, the second main bowler of the team, has taken 190 wickets in 82 innings of 43 Tests at an average of 19.82. Bumrah has taken 56 wickets in the last 22 innings.

Starc – Hazlewood is the X factor of the series

Australia may have lost in the Perth Test but their bowlers won. By bowling out the Indian innings for just 150, the Australian pace battery indicated that the bowlers will have to perform well as a unit to win the match and hold on to the series. In Adelaide too, by restricting the Indian team to 180, Australian pacers Starc Cummins and Bowland again showed that one bowler cannot win the match. Some Adelaide-like pictures are now being made in Brisbane also. It is clear that the reason behind Australia’s increasing dominance in this series is their fast bowlers, who are repeatedly defeating India. Fast bowlers hunt in pairs and Bumrah alone will not be able to do any harm, because Siraj’s aching nerve is being felt by the host team, fans, and Their own figures are being suppressed again and again.
