Sunil Gavaskar praised Mohammed Siraj’s commitment and performance in the recent Test series, highlighting the bowler’s exceptional display as India leveled the series. Siraj, stepping up in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, bowled extensively throughout the series, demonstrating his dedication. Gavaskar believes that the concept of workload management should not take precedence over representing the country. He emphasized the importance of players prioritizing national duty and overcoming physical challenges, drawing inspiration from Rishabh Pant’s determination. Gavaskar maintained that Siraj had debunked the ‘workload myth’ and advised against allowing such considerations to hinder the selection of top players. Gavaskar also mentioned that Bumrah’s absence was due to an injury, not workload concerns and praised his contributions to the team.
