The fifth and final Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia has ended. Australia defeated India by 6 wickets on the third day of the Sydney Test and captured the series 3-1. During the second innings, other bowlers including Mohammad Siraj also looked lackluster. In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, there were a lot of expectations from the team's senior bowler Siraj. But he did not live up to the trust. On behalf of the Indian team, which came to defend 162 runs, Siraj spent 69 runs in just 12 overs and took only 1 wicket. Despite this, Gautam Gambhir praised him fiercely after the match.

Let us know why the head coach of the Indian team is so impressed with Siraj.
