Whether or not Mohammad Siraj is aggressive is a matter of opinion, but one thing is certain: he wears his heart on his sleeve and has a passion for the sport. He is the one who, time and time again, charges in, even when the chips are down, only to provide his team the crucial breakthrough they require. Siraj took six wickets in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test, which was played without Jasprit Bumrah. Everyone was saddened when Shoaib Bashir bowled Siraj out at Lord's while India was attempting to pull off an historic victory because of his love of the sport.

Sharing a dressing room with the legendary Jasprit Bumrah means that Mohammed Siraj will always appear "look inferior" when he has the ball in his hand, according to former India batsman Aakash Chopra.

Although Jasprit Bumrah's workload in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy may be the topic of conversation, it should be noted that since January 1, 2023, Mohammed Siraj has bowled the third-most overs overall, trailing only Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc of Australia.

Siraj's workhorse-like nature was praised by Chopra, who noted that the pacer is often overlooked and that one must value his passion for the sport.

"When you look at Siraj's workload over the past two years, you'll have to sit back and admire and appreciate. He ranks third among all the fast bowlers in the world in terms of the number of overs he has bowled. "In that, Pat Cummins (871.3 overs), Mitchell Starc (856.2 overs), and Mohammed Siraj (792.5 overs) are there," Chopra stated on his YouTube channel.

"No one has bowled more overs than him from the Indian perspective." He is really second in India overall, behind only Jaddu. "Jaddu has bowled about 1000 overs, and he has also bowled about 800. He bowls a lot of overs," he continued.

"Siraj isn't discussed very often."

Even India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate agreed earlier this week that Siraj is not discussed much and that the management is cautious about managing his workload.

Chopra reiterated this viewpoint, adding that the team administration is fortunate to have Siraj on their squad.

"We don't discuss Siraj enough, but we are lucky to have him on the squad," Ryan ten Doeschate added. He donates all of his possessions. He makes no reservations. It's fortunate. Looking at it from a captain's point of view, you frequently glance at your bowlers during Test matches, and occasionally fast bowlers turn their backs. Chopra said, "Mohammed Siraj is not one of them."

“It's possible that not all bowlers are as talented as Bumrah, and on occasion, even if you are skilled, you won't be noticed when you're with him. Every time you are with a legend, you will feel less. After that, others will disregard you. It would have appeared like that when Sachin paaji and Virat were having fun together, he continued.

England is now ahead in the five-game series for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with a score of 2-1. The match between the two clubs will then take place in Manchester, beginning on Wednesday, July 23.
