IND vs SA Test Series: The two-match Test series played between India and South Africa has become one of the most painful memories in the history of Indian cricket. This series was not just a defeat, but a defeat that shook the Indian fans. South Africa clean swept India 2-0. In the Guwahati Test, the Indian team lost by 408 runs, which is India’s biggest defeat in terms of runs in Test cricket.

Anger of fans erupted in Guwahati

After such a big defeat, the atmosphere in Guwahati ground became heated. In a video viral on social media, it was seen that the spectators were raising slogans of “Hi-Hi” against Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir from the stands. Team India’s players and coaching staff were also present in the field, which made the situation more uncomfortable.

Siraj won everyone’s heart

Meanwhile, fast bowler Mohammad Siraj took such a step which won everyone’s heart. Siraj looked towards the fans and put a finger on his mouth and signaled them to remain silent. His gesture clearly showed that he was standing with his head coach. The video is becoming increasingly viral on the internet and Siraj is being praised everywhere.

Questions are being raised on Gautam Gambhir’s tenure

Team India’s Test record has not been very strong since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach. So far, India has played 19 test matches under Gambhir’s coaching, out of which 7 won, 10 lost and 2 matches were drawn. After consecutive defeats, critics say that the team needs a new strategy and strong planning.

After the crushing defeat against South Africa, questions are being raised on Gambhir’s tenure. Especially getting a clean sweep on home soil was completely unacceptable for the Indian fans.

Now what next?

Team India will now play its next Test series against Sri Lanka in 2026. Before this the team management will have to recognize its shortcomings. Be it the collapse of batting, lack of edge in bowling or team combination.

Team India’s fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is in the best form of his career these days. Siraj won everyone’s hearts with his brilliant performance in the recently concluded Test series against West Indies. For this powerful bowling, he has been awarded the ‘Impact Player Medal’. Siraj took a total of 10 wickets in this series, which was the highest among all fast bowlers.

Siraj’s explosive bowling against West Indies

India won 2-0 in the two-match Test series against West Indies. In the first Test played in Ahmedabad, Siraj wreaked havoc on the green pitch and took 7 wickets. His precise line-length and constant pace did not allow the visiting batsmen to survive. Thanks to this brilliant bowling, India won by an innings and 140 runs.

In the second Test held in Delhi, the pitch was more helpful for spinners, yet Siraj tried his best. He bowled consistently accurately and maintained pressure on the West Indies batsmen. Siraj bowled 49 overs in the entire series, which was only slightly less than Jasprit Bumrah (51.5 overs). This shows how much confidence the captain and team management have in Siraj.

Got special respect in the dressing room

In a video released by BCCI, Siraj was given this ‘Impact Player’ medal in the dressing room by wicketkeeper N Jagadeesan. While receiving the medal, Siraj said, “To be honest, this series was very special for me. For me, taking one wicket on this Delhi pitch was like taking five wickets. When a fast bowler gets the reward for his hard work, one feels both confidence and happiness.”

Now new responsibility in Australia

As soon as the West Indies series ends, Siraj is now ready for a new challenge. He will lead the Indian bowling in the ODI series against Australia, this series will start from October 19. Jasprit Bumrah has been rested, so Siraj will have a big responsibility in this three-match series.

Team India has left for Australia on October 15, and Siraj is ready to test the opposition batsmen once again with his pace.

IND vs WI Test Series: The second and last match of the two-Test series between India and West Indies will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from October 10. After the resounding victory in Ahmedabad, Team India is ahead in the series by 1-0. Now the focus will be on winning this match and making a clean sweep. However, the focus of the team management will not only be on victory but also on the workload management of the players.

This player is sure to get rest

One of the biggest questions of the team is the rotation of fast bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah showed excellent form in the first test and has returned with full fitness. He has been rested from the ODI series against Australia, which indicates that he can play in the Delhi Test.

At the same time, the rest of Mohammad Siraj is being seriously considered. Siraj is an important part of the Australia ODI series starting next week. The team management does not want the overload on Siraj to increase, so it is possible that he may be given rest.

If Siraj gets rest, then Prasidh Krishna may get a chance, who will play his first Test on Indian soil. He has consistently bowled impressively in the nets and the team management is in a mood to repose confidence in him.

The magic of the spin trio will be seen again on the Delhi pitch.

Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium is traditionally considered a paradise for spinners. On the black soil pitch here, the ball takes turn from the very beginning, which helps the spin bowlers a lot. India had defeated Australia within three days on the same ground in 2023, in that match the team had played three spinners.

In such a situation, it is expected that India will once again field the spin trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar. These three have proved to be lethal on the home ground, having performed brilliantly in the recent matches.

Less possibility of change in batting order

After the spectacular victory in the first Test, there is no possibility of major changes in the batting order. The opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will remain intact. At the same time, captain Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel will strengthen the middle order.

Probable Indian playing XI for the second test

Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudarshan, Shubman Gill (captain), Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja (vice-captain), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna.

Gautam gambhir house dinner party: The next Test match between India and West Indies is to be played in Delhi. For this, all the players of the Indian team have come to Delhi. At the same time, the house of Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir is in Delhi, so Gambhir has called all the players of Team India at their home dinner before the second Test. The entire team including KL Rahul, Mohammad Siraj and Jaspreet Bumrah along with India’s Test team captain Shubman Gill has reached the feast of Gambhir. Along with the Indian players, all the staff members have also come to eat the house of the hatch coach.

Talking to the Indian Express, India’s fast bowler Mohammad Siraj said that ‘I remember that when I came to the Indian team, MS Dhoni told me not to come in anyone’s words. When you do well, the whole world will be with you and when you spoil, this world will abuse you ‘. Mahi gave this advice to Mohammad Siraj in the early stages of his career.

Mohammad Siraj further said that ‘Yes, trolling is a bad thing. When you perform, then the fans and the world live with you and say that there is no other bowler like Siraj. If you do not perform in the next game, then the same people say what kind of bowler is this, go and go and run an auto with your father.

‘I don’t care’

Siraj further said, ‘What do you mean all these things. You become a hero in a match and become zero in the next. People change with so fast. I have decided that I do not need the opinion and consultation of the people outside. What does my team partner and my family think, it matters to me. I do not care what people are thinking ‘.
