The Indian cricket team is going to play a 5 Test match series from November 22 with its biggest rival team Australia. This series is going to be held in Australia and for this, BCCI had announced Team India on October 25 last month.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India i.e. BCCI has announced an 18-member team for the Australia Test series, which also includes a player who was continuously flopping and captain Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir were going to drop him from the team long ago.
But if the news is to be believed, he has been given a chance only on the recommendation of Virat Kohli. So let's know who is that player about whom such news is coming.
Gambhir-Rohit could have dropped this player from the team
Actually, the player we are talking about is none other than star fast bowler Mohammed Siraj from the Indian cricket team, who has not been able to show any special performance so far in the year 2024. Due to this, there were reports that the current captain of the Indian team Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir were going to drop him from the team. But now he has been included in the team for the Border Gavaskar Trophy and Virat Kohli is said to be behind this.
Siraj got a chance because of Virat!
According to the information received in media reports, the team management was not going to give Mohammed Siraj a chance in the Australia Test series keeping in mind his recent performance. But former captain Virat Kohli has recommended him, due to which he has been included in the team. However, it has not been officially disclosed that due to whom Siraj has been included in the team. In such a situation, now it has to be seen whether he will be a part of the playing 11 or not.
