Jasprit Bumrah Interview: Jasprit Bumrah has some words of praise for Mohammed Siraj by calling the fellow Indian pacer a 'fighter', as the latter continues to play amidst injury scare.


During the post-match interview after the conclusion of Day 3's play, the legendary pacer stated that Mohammed Siraj was carrying a niggle but chose to continue bowling for his country, as India were heavily struggling for some opening or key breakthrough throughout the period of 3 days in the 3rd Test.


"In this game, I’ll give him credit, he had a little bit of a niggle but still he kept on bowling and helped the team because he knew if he goes inside and doesn’t bowl, the team will go under pressure. He’s got a great attitude and he’s got a fighter’s spirit that the team loves. I personally love that. He’s up for a fight and always gives his all for the team," said Jasprit Bumrah.


"In terms of wickets and all, some days you’ll bowl well and the wickets will come. And on some days, you will not bowl well but the wickets will follow. It’s all money in the bank," said the legendary pacer.


"That is the conversation that I’ve had with him: keep focusing on your stuff and the things you can control. Keep running in, keep having a smile on his face. You wanted to play Test cricket, you are doing that, your family is really proud of you. You’re doing something that not many have done before," he added.


Mohammed Siraj In BGT 2024-25 So Far


Mohammed Siraj has been extremely controversial in the ongoing 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, and the Indian pacer has done everything apart from putting up a 'Man of the Match' performance.


From animated celebrations, to heated arguments, to receiving match fee penalty, the right-arm pacer has done it all.


Coming to the performance aspect, the Indian pacer has scalped 11 wickets in 5 innings, but has a strike rate of 41.00, which is a bit too high.


A big performance is still awaited from Mohammed Siraj, who came to Australia with a big reputation, and the fans will be hoping to see the Indian pacer do the talking with his bowling.
