India Mohammed Siraj (PTI Photo/R Sentilkumar) Mohammed Siraj has opened up about the physical and mental number of playing all five tests in the ongoing England series and said it was driven by purely passion of India representation. When he talked to Dinesh Karthik at Sky Sports after a slight second day in the oval, Siraj said, “I like to play for Earth. To be honest, I don’t think whether I will fall apart or not.

With leader Pacer Jasprit Bumrah released from the team for the last test, Siraj was commissioned by a greater responsibility – and delivered. He lifted 4/86 in 16.2 overs and joined Prasidh Krishna 4/62 when India set off in the first shifts for 247. “I love responsibility. I miss Jassi Bhai because there is a senior pitch and leads us on the pitch. But when you have a bigger role, you feel confident.

Siraj was also thinking about his versatile game and his hunger to contribute in all ways. “I burn a lot in the nets, so if I don’t deliver in the middle, I feel like I left the team down.” On the needle in the series and his mental approach Siraj said, “I want to give everything for India whenever I’m in the park. When I go to bed at night, I have to know I gave everything to me – that will give me a good night’s sleep.” Joe Root and Harry Brook included in Siraj’s goals, the other one bowed at 53 after aggressive fifty. Meanwhile, Krishna requested key goals Crawley, Jamie Smith, Overton and Atkinson when the tide changed to India. India ended Day 2 in 75/2, which led by 52 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal was unbeaten at 51, although he was dropped twice. With England Bowler short after Chris Woakes injury, India heads to 3. Day with momentum and a slight edge in the referee.
