‘Different perspective’: Ex-India star wants Rohit Sharma and Co. to drop Mohammed Siraj for 2nd Test vs England

India captain Rohit Sharma finds himself in the line of fire after the team's defeat to England in the first Test of the 5-match series in Hyderabad. India's loss saw experts questioning Rohit's tactics and the team's intent against an England side that came prepared. Former India wicket-keeper batter Parthiv Patel questioned Rohit's reluctance to use Mohammed Siraj in the bowling attack, insisting if the pacer is to be used so sporadically, he shouldn't even be picked in the team.

The Indian team went with three spinners and two pacers for the first Test. While Siraj was used for only 11 overs in the entire match, his pace bowling partner Jasprit Bumrah bowled 24.4 overs, picking up a total of 6 wickets. Siraj, on the other hand, was wicket-less.

Parthiv feels India should've picked another batter in place of Siraj if they didn't want to fully use him in Hyderabad.
