Mohammed Siraj Crediting Strength and Conditioning Coach Soham Desai
Mohammed Siraj has attributed his second five-wicket haul in the second Test against West Indies to strength and conditioning coach Soham Desai. On the even surface in Port of Spain, the right-arm fast bowler was relentless with his line and lengths and enabled India to dismiss West Indies for a mere 255. Siraj got the ball to swing and was recompensed for his perseverance. The 29-year-old bowled 24 overs and whenever skipper Rohit Sharma needed breakthroughs, he looked to his most experienced pacer.
Achieving Five Wickets on a Flat Track
Siraj acknowledged that it was not easy to take five wickets on a flat track. He thanked Desai for his hard work on his fitness and for ensuring that he stayed in shape despite playing a number of matches consecutively. The heat and humidity was taxing, and the frequent rain breaks made it difficult for a fast bowler to stay charged. Moreover, it was not easy to bowl long spells in such conditions.
Conclusion
Mohammed Siraj has credited strength and conditioning coach Soham Desai for his second five-wicket haul in the second Test against West Indies. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication that Siraj puts into his game and the support and guidance he receives from Desai.
