New Delhi: Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed concern over Mohammad Sirj’s performance in the first Test against England in Headingly, Leeds, urged Pacer to focus on controlling the flow of run for wickets completely. Siraj abolished a difficult outing, scoring runs at an economy rate of 4.05 and taking only two wickets in both innings.On the surface offering a little help to the bowlers, Siraj conceded 122 runs in 27 overs in the first innings, claiming two wickets. His struggle continued in the second innings, where he became wicket -free in 14 overs and scored 51 runs.“My only question for Sirj is … Can you dry the run flow? You do not need to take wickets. But can’t you give 4-5 runs in every over? If the runs are leaked, then you have to bring Bumrah back into the attack. How many dams will Bumrah be able to build? “Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.Jasprit Bumrah stood out as India’s best bowler in England’s first innings, claiming five wickets. Prasad Krishna also took three wickets, but was expensive, scored in the 6.40 economy.
“In addition, he gets tired, and his mantras are pushed, and till then, the participation is forged. Or you have to go with Jadeja, which will have to step into the flow of run and stem. Prasad is playing for the first time, and he is inexperienced. 2/58, I think.The experienced spinner further emphasized that Test cricket support roles are as much as it is about personal talent.
“I believe that taking wickets is important in Test cricket. But in Test cricket, you also bowl for each other. Ishant Sharma did it surprisingly. He played Morkel’s role very well. He pressures one end, and he used to give just 40-oud runs after a whole day’s game. I was not asking it,”
