Srinagar: Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh has suggested RCB managment to drop struggling pacer Mohammad Siraj owing to pacers struggles in IPL 2024.
In the ongoing IPL 2024, Mohammed Siraj has struggled to find his rhythm and has taken just four wickets in six matches till now at an economy rate of 10.40.
“If I was part of the management, I would give him rest for a couple of games. Let him go back and think about what’s been happening with him. He has been the same Siraj whom we have seen taking wickets with the new ball, whether it’s Test cricket, one-day cricket or even in this format. He has been a champion bowler for Team India and even for RCB. I feel he is not doing what he is required to do.”
“I think he is too tired. He is not there mentally, physically also. He needs to take rest. He has been playing a lot of cricket. He played 4 Tests against England. He bowls a lot of overs. He looks very tired, physically and mentally. With this kind of hammering (vs MI), it’s hard for any bowler to wake up next day and feel alright. I have gone through these kind of situations. You have to give yourself a bit of time, think about your game and relax a bit. I am sure Siraj will come back strong,” he said.
