WTC Final / Who should play in World Test Championship Final Ishant Sharma or Mohammed Siraj?

WTC Final | In the final match of the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Test Championship, there is a constant debate on whether Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Siraj should get a place in Team India's playing XI. In the absence of Ishant, Siraj bowled brilliantly on the tour of Australia and many cricket pundits want Siraj to get a chance in the final as well. At the same time, Team India's senior spinner Harbhajan Singh also wants that Siraj should be included in the playing XI. He has also given a special reason behind this.

He said, 'If I am the captain, I will play three fast bowlers, then Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will be sure. In this final I would like to take Mohammad Siraj instead of Ishant Sharma. "Ishant is a fantastic bowler, but my choice for this match is Siraj, who has shown great improvement in the last two years," he said. Harbhajan believes that a player's current form should always be looked at and so should Siraj, whose five-wicket haul in Brisbane was crucial in India's series win.

The off-spinner said, 'You should look at the current form. Siraj's form, pace and confidence make him a better option for the final match. Looking at the form of the last six months, he looks like a bowler who is hungry for opportunities. Ishant has had to deal with injuries in the recent past, but he has been a great asset to Indian cricket, no doubt about it. "If you leave some grass on the pitch, Siraj will be dangerous at his own pace. Believe me, it will not be easy for the New Zealand batsmen to play him, as he moves the ball off the pitch with his speed. He can bowl at difficult angles for the batsmen.
