“He’s currently the star in India’s pace bowling unit” ,Ishant Sharma applauds Mohammed Siraj.

Mohammed Siraj has undeniably emerged as a dominant force in recent times, gradually transforming from a struggling pacer in international cricket to becoming one of India’s most formidable pace assets. In collaboration with the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, Siraj is poised to play a pivotal role in India’s endeavors in the imminent Asia Cup and the upcoming ODI World Cup, as the Indian cricket team sets its sights on clinching both prestigious titles.

In a noteworthy development, Ishant Sharma, an experienced bowler in the pace department, showered accolades on Siraj. Sharma explicitly dubbed him as the foremost pacer in the current Indian squad. While acknowledging Bumrah’s potential impact, Sharma aptly highlighted that Bumrah’s effectiveness hinges on his fitness, underscoring the necessity for him to strategically manage his gameplay to prevent injuries.

Adding an intriguing dimension, Sharma also identified the rising talents within India’s pace contingent. He pointed out promising individuals such as Mukesh Kumar, Umran Malik, and Arshdeep Singh, projecting them as the prospective stars of India’s future pace arsenal.

Ishant Sharma said “Siraj obviously (is the current star of India’s fast bowling unit). Should we add Bumrah or not, depends on fitness. I think Bumrah will have to play smart. There is no Test series until the World Cup, so he has to just play white-ball cricket. After that, Mukesh Kumar, Navdeep Saini, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep, and Umran Malik.”
