Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has urged the Indian team to drop out-of-form pacer Mohammed Siraj following a string of underperforming performances in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Siraj has taken 13 wickets in seven innings but has struggled with the new ball, putting extra pressure on teammate Jasprit Bumrah. Gavaskar recommended that Siraj be informed about his exclusion due to non-performance rather than being rested. He also suggested bringing in Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna for the fifth Test in Sydney to bolster the pace attack. Siraj's economy rate of 4.07 runs per over has been a concern.
