No one expected that the big players of the Indian team would return on the Sri Lanka tour. The new head coach of the team did not want to take any risk in his first series. He canceled the leave of everyone from Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli and called them back. Almost all the bowlers involved in the T20 World Cup were also scheduled to come on the tour. Among the big names, only Jasprit Bumrah has been given rest. However, there is bad news for Gambhir before the T20 series starting on July 27. Mohammed Siraj, who surprised everyone with his speech in the Asia Cup, has been injured.
Siraj got injured in his leg
Mohammad Siraj was a part of the T20 World Cup 2024. Siraj played some matches in the World Cup in which he performed brilliantly. Earlier, he had bowled brilliantly in the World Cup and Asia Cup. Now he was going to lead the Indian fast attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah in Sri Lanka.
Siraj got injured during the practice session
According to the report, Mohammad Siraj was seen taking medical treatment during practice. He has a leg injury and he may be out of the first T20 against Sri Lanka on July 27. Gautam Gambhir had made full preparations for victory, but he did not think that something like this would happen. In such a situation, this is a big setback for the new captain Suryakumar Yadav and Team India in T20.
Who will replace Siraj?
Head coach Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav have gone on this tour with only three fast bowlers. Arshdeep Singh, who bowled brilliantly with Siraj in the T20 World Cup, could have played in the first match. However, now Khalil Ahmed can be seen with Arshdeep Singh in the first match. Talking about Siraj's condition, it depends on his injury. If his injury worsens, then Mukesh Kumar and Avesh Khan, who showed amazing performance with the ball in Zimbabwe, may get a chance.
