“This was on the cards, and the correct decision” – Twitter reacts to the reports that Mohammad Shami might replace Mohammad Siraj for the 4th BGT Test

"This was on the cards, and the correct decision" - Twitter reacts to the reports that Mohammad Shami might replace Mohammad Siraj for the 4th BGT Test

Starting on March 9, the last Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy will take place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. With a spot in the WTC Final on the line, Team India is leaving no detail unchecked. After two unsuccessful innings, Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma have decided to open the match with Shubman Gill instead of KL Rahul. Nevertheless, Mohammed Siraj is expected to be rested as part of NCA’s workload management in order to preserve his fitness for the ODI series. Here comes Mohammad Shami.

Yet, much rides on the presentation. Both black soil and red soil wickets are prepared in Ahmedabad. Possible additional spot for a seamer if India is given a red soil pitch.

After losing by 9 wickets in Indore, Rohit Sharma and company decided to make some adjustments. Things have changed when Rohit was confidently contemplating a verdant green pitch in preparation for the WTC Final. Instead, India hopes to stave off a strong Australian team.

One of the greatest ways to do this is to keep using a court surface that encourages spin. But, Australia’s spinners have triumphed, with Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy, and Matt Khunemann all having five-wicket hauls. Batters for India have not shown the same determination as Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, or even Axar Patel.

Virat Kohli has been absent from three Tests, while openers KL Rahul and Shubman Gill have also struggled. Shreyas Iyer’s aggressiveness on the field in Indore was not enough to save India’s innings. While KS Bharat has shown his ability to keep wicket, his batting has been a sideshow.

India needs a complete effort in Ahmedabad since they are in a must-win scenario. For this reason, it is not out of the question to use a pacer sacrifice to add an additional batter. Neither Mohammed Siraj nor Umesh Yadav bowled more than 13 overs in the Indore match. As a matter of fact, Siraj, Mohammed Shami, and Umesh Yadav have only bowled a total of 61.1 overs in this series.
