IND vs ENG: Infia's star fast bowler Mohammed Siraj was seen getting involved in a funny banter in the training session before the second Test match against England. The match will be held at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Wednesday. The Men in Blue have been attending training sessions for the upcoming match. And since the Indian tailenders failed to perform during the first Test match, the bowlers were seen sweating it out to work on their batting skills ahead of the second match. Siraj too was seen working on his batting skills.
A dramatic incident happened in the practice session, where Siraj saw that his bat was broken. When he asked who broke his bat, the fast bowler was seen getting furious, and then within minutes, he started to laugh. "How's my bat broken? Who broke my bat yaar (friend)?" Siraj was heard as saying at the training session. After asking that question, he was seen giving a deep stare to his teammates and began laughing.
India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is all but going to miss the second Test match against England to manage his workload. Before the ongoing Test series against England even began, team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir had reckoned that Bumrah wouldn't be playing in all the Test matches. And since there is just a gap of three days between the second and the third Test match, Bumrah might miss one of the two and there are high chances that he might miss the second Test match.

He walked in confused, spotted his broken bat, threw some fake anger and still left with a big grin. Classic Siraj turning net drama into pure meme gold

And if Bumrah does miss the second match, then either Arshdeep or Akashdeep would be included in the playing XI, as they are the two pacers in the side. Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur played the series opener.
During Bumrah's absence, all eyes will be on Mohammed Suraj, who would be the senior-most fast bowler in the team. During the series opener, he had a forgetful outing with the ball. He had taken just two wickets in the 41 overs that he bowled.
