Recognized widely as one of India’s premier and most reliable fast bowlers in both international red-ball and white-ball cricket, Mohammed Siraj has taken on the mantle of the senior-most pacer following Jasprit Bumrah’s injury concerns and Mohammed Shami’s ongoing absence, though questions about his pace and form during the recent Sri Lanka Tests and West Indies ODIs led former bowling coach Bharat Arun to clarify during a select media interaction that Siraj is merely experiencing a temporary dip in form common to any athlete, explaining that the rest and workload management he received before the Sri Lanka tour required a brief adjustment period to shake off minor habits that creep in after a break, emphasizing that with his vast experience Siraj only needs to focus on regaining his signature bowling rhythm with his coach to bounce back to his best, while also remarking on Shami that the experienced fast bowler has already established his credentials across all formats and does not need to prove anything further, meaning he should either be selected purely on form or left out.
