Mohammed Siraj and Kapil Dev (pictures via GETTY pictures) Mohammed Siraj carved his name together with Indian giants and joined the chapel of Dev and Vinoo Mankad as the only Indian pitch that appeared in all five overseas series tests on three separate occasions and always take 10 or more goals. The milestone came when Siraj was named in the XI for the fifth and the last test against England in the oval. In the series, where the India Trail 2-1 and needs victory to draw a level, the 31-year-old Pacer Standout was an artist who constantly provided key breakthroughs. So far, Siraj has taken 14 goals in the series, with 2, 7, 4 and 1 scalp in four tests leading to the referee. Since it is expected that the playground in the oval will prefer sailors, it will again be at Siraj to lead the accusation – this time next to Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep, while Jasprit Bumrah is not in the lineup.
India vs England 5. Test preview: Can India SHUBMAN GILL equalize the series in the oval?
Its reliability across the conditions has made it a key name in the Indian Red Ball settings, trusting it to be headed or supporting the attack regardless of the conditions or team members. Captain SHUBMAN GILL, who added to the meaning of the day, previously broke the 47 -year record for Indian captain in the test series. Gill passed Sunil Gavascar’s Mark 732 Runs vs West Indies in 1978. He reached 15 in the first Indian shift for lunch and his series was currently 737* and counted.
