Mohammed Siraj Attributes Pace Dip to Two-Month Break, Regains Rhythm in Duleep Trophy
Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj attributed a dip in his pace and rhythm during India's recent Test series in Sri Lanka to an unprecedented two-month break. He explained that his run-up felt disjointed, affecting his bowling speed, which dropped to the late 120s km/h from his usual early to mid-140s. Siraj noted that while gym workouts helped, they couldn't replicate match intensity. He regained rhythm and pace during the Duleep Trophy final, viewing the experience as a valuable learning curve ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
