Mohammed Siraj had a costly outing for India in the first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The hosts went on to lose by eight wickets even after mounting a spirited fightback with the bat in the second innings. India played the previous Test series against Bangladesh with three pacers and two spinners in their playing XI. But against the Kiwis, they decided to do a bit of juggling and selected three spinners and two seamers. From now on, the in-form Akash Deep was relegated to the bench while Kuldeep Yadav was brought in in place of him as Mohammed Siraj continued to stay ahead although he had a pretty down experience against Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, in the second innings of New Zealand, the speedster bowled economically but wasn't much of a task for the batters at hand. On the other end, though, Jasprit Bumrah made the batters dance to his tunes and also picked two wickets. Former India cricketer Saba Karim felt Siraj was under some sort of pressure and the management must have a talk with him ahead of the second Test, which begins on Thursday, October 24, in Pune. "I reckon that Mohammed Siraj may be under some kind of pressure and I'm sure they will have a discussion before they pick the XI for the next test match. Because as a front-line seam bowler in a Test match, you are expected to pick wickets with the new ball and also come back and bowl well with the second new ball. To that extent, I don't think that Siraj has delivered and more so now, with Akash coming in and picking some early wickets. Plus Akash has got enough experience of bowling on such tracks in Indian conditions because he's been around for a number of years for for Bengal. So you would look to have somebody on your side who has the experience of bowling on such tracks, even though the tracks have been lifeless," Saba Karim said.
