The third Test between England and India has started at Lord’s Stadium in London. On the first day of the game, the Indian bowlers stopped the England batsmen and did not let them score openly. Mohammad Siraj also did his work well during this period. However, he did not get a wicket but he bowled tightly. But during the match, something happened that former coach Ravi Shastri called Mohammad Siraj a clown, which all the fans were surprised to hear. After all, Ravi Shastri tells you about why Mohammad Siraj said this.
Ravi Shastri said a big thing
All this started when Mohammad Siraj said something in excitement after throwing the ball to the Oli Pope on the first day of the third Test match. At that time, Michael Atherton was commenting with Ravi Shastri. Michael Atherton said, ‘Mohammad Siraj is a different character. He ran away directly to the batsman. After this, Atherton asked Ravi Shastri about Siraj. Ravi Shastri replied, ‘He is a clown in the dressing room. They mostly do not joke, but if someone else comes and joking with them, then they get caught in this trap.
Michael Atherton compared Siraj to former England fast bowler Darren Goff who used to joke in the dressing room and kept the mood light. Regarding this, Ravi Shastri further said, ‘Siraj and Rishabh are the same. Not only this, when Siraj was made DSP, there was a lot of conversation in the dressing room. Siraj said that stop as long as you come to Hyderabad, I will do everything right for you. He bowled amazing in the second Test match played at Edgbaston. Not only this, he also took 6 wickets and even today he has bowled deadly.
