Mohammed sirja in ahmedabad test: Nearly two months after the end of the tour of England, Team India once again returned to the action of Test cricket. The first match of the Test series between India and West Indies started in Ahmedabad and the Indian team appeared on the front foot on the first day. The Indian team's strong start, fast bowler Mohammad Siraj, who took 4 wickets and was the first day star. After the end of the day's play, Siraj expressed satisfaction over his performance but also remembered the Test match in which Team India collapsed for just 46 runs.

Siraj took 4 wickets for 40 runs on the first day of this Test match, which started from October 2 at Narendra Modi Stadium, which is his best performance on Indian land. Siraj took 3 wickets of the top order of the West Indies in the first hour of the match. Seeing the kind of bowling he was bowling with Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah with him, it was difficult to say that this match was happening in India and that too in Modi stadium, which is helpful for spinners.

Why did Siraj remember Bangalore Test?

Not only the general audience, but Siraj himself was also shocked but happy with it. After the end of the day's play, Siraj mentioned this and described it as a pitch of a Test match played in Bengaluru last year between India and New Zealand. Talking to the media, Siraj said, "I was very excited to bowl on this green pitch as it rarely gets such a pitch in India. The last time we got such a pitch in the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand. So I was excited about it."

West Indies piled on just 162 runs

Siraj's enthusiasm and curiosity can also be understood because the spinners have always seen dominance in Ahmedabad. In such a situation, if you get a helpful pitch for fast bowlers on this ground, then any pacer will be happy. This pitch was not like last year's Bengaluru Test, where Team India was piled up for just 46 runs in the first innings on the first innings on the first day. But there was so much help in this that in the first one hour, Siraj had prepared the foundation to cover the innings of West Indies quickly. The Windies team finally collapsed for just 162 runs.
