With the IND vs ENG Test series locked in at 1-1, India Cricket Team need something special to counter England’s Bazball. However, India’s batting, especially middle and lower order has been disappointing, to say the least. Only opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and No 3 Shubman Gill have scored centuries. As lower-order batting has become an important aspect in Test cricket, skipper Rohit Sharma turned out as a coach to give some batting lessons to pacer Mohammed Siraj.
Siraj rejoined India squad after a break from the 2nd Test. With a 15-day rest complete, he is now expected to team up with Jasprit Bumrah in the IND vs ENG 3rd Test.
However, considering India’s lacklustre batting so far, Siraj may need to pad up and score 20-30 runs. Hence, after going at full tilt with the new ball at the nets, he padded up to face the net bowlers.

Rohit Sharma gave him a masterclass on ideal head position while batting. And then he let Siraj face some throwdowns from net bowlers.
