IND vs ENG: Mohammed Siraj Shows Why He Is A Proper Test Match Bowler, By Dismiss Bairstow And Root

While India spinners once again took the honors picking up eight wickets, it was Mohammed Siraj's energy, consistency, and nagging line that helped the hosts grab the two most important wickets

Siraj showed a lot of energy and aggression. The 26-year-old got into a chat with England batsman Stokes before Virat Kohli too got involved. The umpire had to intervene.

The thing with Siraj was that he kept coming at the English, through his bowling, run-up, or with words.

"We play in India, we know what to do. We don't try too much and bowl in one place. When we play Ranji Trophy, our plan is to bowl only at one place and the wickets would come on their own. The plan is to patiently bowl at one spot," added Siraj while speaking to the media.

Siraj had both Root and Bairstow with deliveries that came into the batsmen.

"I thought I would set him (Root) up, by continuously bowling away-going deliveries. After that, in a fresh over's first ball I thought I will bowl in and up and it came out the way I had thought. I was successful. Was very happy," Siraj explained about the England skipper's dismissal.

With Bairstow, there was preparation done beforehand. "He had not faced me much. I had seen his videos, getting out to deliveries coming in. My plan was to bowl consistently at an area and make the ball come in. It happened."

Siraj made his debut in Australia and since then he has almost become India's third-choice pacer. Years of grind in first-class cricket in domestic cricket and for India A  has also helped him get the temperament to keep trying.
