Team India pacer Mohammed Siraj recently spoke about how he was handed the responsibility of leading the pace attack in the absence of senior seamers during the side’s tour of Australia in 2020-21. <\/p>\n

Siraj, who made his Test debut in the second Test of the aforementioned series, had to spearhead the Indian attack after the likes of Jasprit Bumrah<\/a>, Mohammed Shami, and Umesh Yadav were ruled out of the final fixture due to injuries. <\/p>\n

Speaking on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB<\/a>) podcast, Mohammed Siraj mentioned that he relished the challenge and was pleased with his bowling exploits. <\/p>\n

“I enjoyed bowling the most in Australia,” he said. “Because when the main bowlers were not available, mostly injured, I became the leader of the pace attack in only my third Test and started bowling with the new ball. It was a great moment. I got a big responsibility and I fulfilled that by performing, which was a big dream come true.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
