As India continued to prepare for the second Test against England at Edgbaston, which begins on July 2, Mohammed Siraj found himself in the middle of a training ground incident. Siraj's response to a shattered bat in Birmingham, where the team was going through rigorous training sessions, drew notice and provided a lighthearted break to an otherwise tense atmosphere.

Head coach Gautam Gambhir and batting coach Sitanshu Kotak seem to have also told the bowlers to put in extra time practicing their batting in the nets because India's lower order failed in the series opener at Headingley. In order to become a more dependable tail-ender, Siraj has also been putting in a lot of effort. But during one of these sessions, he saw that something was wrong with his bat, and what happened next was both hilarious and dramatic.

quoted Siraj as saying in a training video, "Who broke my bat yaar (friend)? How is my bat broken?" At first, the pacer seemed to be visibly irritated, even giving off a piercing glance, but a few seconds later, he broke out laughing, letting the situation pass with a grin.

India's camp is dealing with bigger issues related to team makeup, even if Siraj's bat incident provided some respite. The administration is keeping an eye on Jasprit Bumrah's workload, so it's doubtful that the star pacer will play in the second Test. Prior to the series, Gambhir had made it clear that Bumrah would not be participating in all five games of the demanding England tour.

Due to the fact that the second and third Tests are only three days apart, it seems that Bumrah is most likely to miss the Edgbaston match. In the event that occurs, India will attempt to make up for the loss by recruiting either Akash Deep or Arshdeep Singh.

Siraj has more responsibilities

Siraj, who is now the most experienced pacer in the team, would also be under more pressure if Bumrah were not there. In the first Test, his performance was subpar, as he only managed to take two wickets in 41 overs. India will now rely on Siraj for wickets as well as for leadership in the pace attack.

In the event that the pacer misses the Edgbaston Test, there is also conjecture about who would take his place. Initially, it was anticipated that either Akash Deep or Arshdeep Singh would take Bumrah's place, but the training session revealed a different scenario, with both fast bowlers putting in a lot of effort in the nets while Bumrah and Prasidhremained noticeably absent from practice.
