New Delhi. Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah revealed on Monday 16 December that Mohammed Siraj is bowling despite being in pain. Bumrah praised Siraj for bowling despite being injured in the third Test against Australia in the ‘Border Gavaskar Trophy’. Siraj called the physio on the field after bowling the second ball in the 37th over of Australia’s innings on Sunday and then went out. Akashdeep completed this over.
Bumrah said on the third day of the match, “We have talked about this. However, this conversation took place before coming here (Brisbane). Siraj, he was in very good condition in Perth (first Test) and then in the last match. He is bowling well and has also taken some wickets. In this match too, I would like to give him credit because he continued bowling despite being in pain because he knew that if he went to the dressing room and did not bowl, it would increase the team’s problems.
