Mohammed Siraj admitted that after a shaky start—having conceded 43 runs in his first nine overs—he asked Shubman Gill, his captain, for “just one more over” and it paid off. In that extra over, Siraj trapped Kyle Verreynne lbw and cleaned up Marco Jansen four balls later—a pivotal double strike that reversed his fortunes and bolstered the home side’s attack. Behind the scenes, veteran pacer Jasprit Bumrah supported Siraj with simple advice: bowl at the stumps and the wickets will follow. Bumrah then backed it up with a five-wicket haul. Ultimately, the home team wrapped up the visitors for just 159, setting the stage for a strong opening day for India national cricket team.
