Mohammed Siraj Cites Two-Month Break for Pace Drop, Finds Rhythm in Duleep Trophy
Mohammed Siraj attributed his reduced pace and rhythm during India's recent Sri Lanka Test series to an unusual two-month break, which disrupted his usual bowling flow. He explained that his body struggles with long breaks, as match intensity cannot be replicated in training. Siraj noted improvement after bowling long spells in the Duleep Trophy final, where he regained rhythm and pace despite challenging conditions. He described this experience as a valuable learning curve for managing future seasons.
