Siraj takes four wickets across Sri Lanka Test series

Mohammed Siraj took only four wickets across the two-Test series against Sri Lanka as India struggled without Jasprit Bumrah.

Mohammed Siraj claimed four wickets across four innings in India's 1-0 Test series win against Sri Lanka. The fast bowler struggled to adapt to Sri Lankan conditions in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. India needed Siraj to step up but he did not deliver consistent threat.

Siraj's returns fell short of expectations on surfaces that offered limited assistance to pace bowlers. The team management expressed fitness concerns over the bowler following the second Test draw in Colombo. Siraj remains a key member of India's pace attack for overseas tours.

India's fast-bowling resources face increased scrutiny ahead of the New Zealand tour.
