Virat Kohli is known for his aggressive captaincy. He told India that matches could be won with this approach too. He taught India not only to fight but also to win in Australia. Players had complete freedom under his captaincy. Virat’s close friend Mohammad Siraj performed very well.
It is Kohli who has made his career even more glorious. Siraj himself has mentioned this. He has got to learn a lot from Virat. His statistics also testify to this. Let us tell you that Siraj played 8 Tests in the year 2021 under Virat. In which he bowled brilliantly and took 23 wickets. During this, his best performance was 4 wickets for 32 runs.
Mohammad Siraj got an evil eye under Rohit’s captaincy!
Mohammad Siraj, who shone under Virat Kohli’s captaincy, is also getting continuous opportunities under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. It is not that he has been dropped. But, Siraj has been disappointed a lot with his bowling. These days a 5-match Test series is being played in Australia. Siraj’s performance in this series is going to break the hearts of not only the captain but also the fans.
Because he has played 3 matches so far. He has been able to take only 11 wickets in 12 innings. During this time, he has conceded runs at an economy of 5 which is quite disappointing in Tests. If we look at the overall figures, then 18 Test matches have been played in the last 3 years under Rohit’s captaincy. In which only 42 wickets have been taken in 32. Let us tell you that Siraj bowled well in the Asia Cup 2023. After that, it seems as if his performance has been jinxed. He is not getting wickets.
