Harbhajan Singh Reveals His Choice Between Mohammed Siraj And Ishant Sharma Pace bowler Mohammed Siraj has shown a “remarkable improvement" in recent times, especially in the longer format which might earn him a place in the playing XI in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand, believes veteran India spinner Harbhajan Singh. Harbhajan also added that young opener Shubman Gill must get back to his groove in a seam and swing friendly conditions in England after a poor show against England and in the Indian Premier League at home recently. However, he also believes the talented Gill has also worked hard on his flaws and he hopes that the youngster would come out all guns blazing in the upcoming series in England.

In that case, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami pick themselves. In this final, I would like to go with Mohammed Siraj ahead of Ishant Sharma. Ishant is a brilliant bowler but for this game, my choice is Siraj, who has shown remarkable improvement in the last two years," Harbhajan told PTI on Thursday.
He continued: “You have to look at present scenario. Siraj’s form, pace and confidence makes him a better choice for this final match. The kind of form he is in last six months, he looks like a bowler who is hungry for his chances. Ishant has gone through some injuries of late but has been a great servant of Indian cricket no doubt." Team India will take on New Zealand in the inaugural WTC Final in Southampton and after that, they will play a five-match Test series against England in August as well before playing the rest of the games of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League that will resume in the UAE during September-October.
