I am a very emotional person; it can be 2–1. Jaddu Bhai fought a lot of battle. But then I told myself that the series is not over and I will work on my batting. We have been working hard on our batting since Australia. The disadvantage of 22 runs was shocking, “Sirj said during the pre-match press conference.Taking forward the dismissal, Siraj said that the result may be different that he was liked lucky at that moment.
He said, “In the middle of the ball and still to bowl, the way we were batting together, I was feeling confident and I thought I would not get out today.

When you are bowling, you are in another zone; your focus is on taking wickets, so you don’t know what you say. You want to turn the batsman – like when I asked when I asked Root, ‘Where is the bazball?”Asked if he would continue with the same fierce energy in the fourth test, Siraj replied without any hesitation: “Yes.”
