Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has insisted that Mohammed Siraj should be dropped from the playing eleven of the Indian team in the final Test match against Australia.
The struggling Indian team
The India-Australia teams are playing in the 4th match of the Border Gavaskar Test series.
The Australian team scored 474 runs in the first innings after the excellent play of the Australian players.
Following this, the Indian team has been playing in the first innings and has scored 164 runs so far by the end of the 2nd day's play, losing 5 wickets.
With only 5 wickets remaining, the Indian team is 310 runs behind.
In addition, the entire third day of the match is dependent on Jadeja, Rishabh Pant, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar.
India struggles to take wickets
After Australia effortlessly built a huge lead of 474 runs, there has been severe criticism of the Indian team's bowlers.
In particular, the fact that the leading fast bowler of the Indian cricket team, Mohammed Siraj, bowled 23 overs and conceded 122 runs without taking a single wicket has become a big topic of discussion.
It is noteworthy that while Bumrah has taken 25 wickets in this Test series, Mohammed Siraj has taken only 13 wickets.
Sunil Gavaskar criticism
In this situation, Sunil Gavaskar has opined that Indian player Siraj should be removed from the team due to his poor performance.
In this regard, he said, "The mistakes of the players cannot be hidden in the name of rest. It should be directly said that Siraj has not performed as expected. By removing him, he will realize the need to improve his performance."
"Siraj has struggled to take wickets even on Indian soil. He has not been able to showcase his talent even on the Australian pitch, which is favorable for fast bowlers. Therefore, he should be removed from the team and other players like Prasit Krishna or Harshit Rana should be given a chance," he said.
