IND vs Eng Test: In the Leeds Test match, the Indian fast bowlers were seen struggling on the fifth day. In the first session, the bowlers of Team India could not get any wickets, while England had not lost any wicket till the rain came in the second session. In the fourth innings, India set a huge target of 371 runs in front of England. If we look at the entire match, Mohammad Siraj could not prove to be more effective. On the other hand, Shardul Thakur got less bowling than other bowlers, but along with Siraj, fans have also taken him away.

By the end of the fourth day’s play, England had scored 21 runs without losing wickets. In such a situation, on the fifth day, the England team came to the fray to achieve the target of 350 runs, while Team India came to the fray with the intention of taking 10 wickets of the English team. Fans have expressed their displeasure over the performance of Shardul Thakur and Mohammad Siraj, especially.

A leg with a leg …

History has been witness that the pair of Mohammed Shami and Jaspreet Bumrah in Test matches have dominated the opposition batsmen. When the Indian bowlers were unable to take wickets on the fifth day, people remembered Mohammed Shami. A fan said that the selectors dropped the famous Krishna and Shardul Thakur by dropping Mohammed Shami, one of their best bowlers, which has to be paid to Team India. One person even said that if the famous Krishna and Mohammad Siraj also come together, then one leg Shami will prove to be better than them.

Mohammed Shami’s figures against England have been excellent. He has taken 44 wickets in 27 Test innings against England. While playing on the grounds of England, he took 25 wickets in 25 Test innings. The figures are evidence that if Shami had joined the Indian squad, perhaps India’s bowling attack would have become very strong.

One legged shami is better than bot Krishna & Siraj Combined.
