Ashish Nehra stated pacer Mohammed Siraj has much more expertise than his senior India colleague Jasprit Bumrah. Siraj already has extra variations than Bumrah and if he can preserve his health and improve his sport consciousness, Nehra stated ‘sky is the limit’ for him.
“There was talk about a couple of years ago that he used to pick up 5-6 wickets in every match for India A with the red ball… (now he) is a very good all-format bowler. There is no shortage skill, he has all type of variations. I would in fact say that skill wise, he is even ahead of Bumrah, if you talk of variations,” Nehra stated in a video on Cricbuzz.
“He has a different slower one, there is no lack of speed, he can move the new ball. He needs to keep his fitness and sharpen his mind. If he can do these two things well, sky is the limit,” Nehra added.
