Siraj could not take 5 wickets (PHOTO)
India vs west indies: In the Ahmedabad Test innings against the West Indies, India's fast bowler Mohammad Siraj had a golden opportunity to take 5 wickets in the first innings. He had reached very close to him with 4 wickets. However, that 5th wicket did not fall into his bag. This happened when Bumrah also wanted Siraj to take a 5th wicket somehow. In this, everyone paid attention to the help he helped. But despite all the efforts, Siraj finally failed. He could not take 5 wickets in the first innings of the Ahmedabad Test against the West Indies.
Mohammad Siraj took 4 wickets for 40 runs in 14 overs in the first innings of the Ahmedabad Test against the West Indies. If he took another wicket, he would have taken 5 wickets for the sixth time in his Test career. If he had taken the 5th wicket here, he would have done this feat for the second time in the Test against the West Indies. But Siraj stayed away from that milestone.
Now the question is that how Jasprit Bumrah helped Mohammad Siraj take 5 wickets, it is a different matter that he could not succeed. So this happened when the last wicket of the West Indies' first innings was left to fall. The entire West Indies team was all out for 162 runs in 44.1 overs in their first innings.
Meanwhile, Bumrah, who came to put the 41st over of the innings, bowled 3 consecutive balls, which were out of side of stumps. Meaning it was difficult to take wickets. Bumrah threw those balls with the intention of not taking wickets or not, we cannot say with the claim. But at first sight from those balls, he understood, he was as if he wanted Siraj to complete his 5 wickets with the last wicket.
After that over of Bumrah, Siraj came to put the ball but could not take wickets. Kuldeep Yadav took the last wicket of the West Indies' first innings, which was his second wicket in the match.
