Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin didn’t hold back in critiquing teammate Mohammed Siraj’s approach during the recent India vs. England Test, joking about how many "dams" (a playful dig at bowling tight spells) Jasprit Bumrah would have to build while others leaked runs. Ashwin stressed that Siraj needs to focus more on containing batters rather than just hunting for wickets. Bumrah, meanwhile, was India’s standout bowler with a five-wicket haul, while Prasidh Krishna had a mixed day—taking three wickets but going for runs at a costly 6.40 economy.

Editor’s Note: Ashwin’s blunt remarks highlight a growing tension in India’s bowling attack—while Bumrah’s brilliance papered over cracks, the reliance on him is unsustainable. Siraj and Krishna’s inconsistency could hurt India in tight matches, especially with England’s aggressive batting. For fans, it’s a wake-up call: individual flair isn’t enough if the supporting cast can’t apply pressure.
