I believe only in Jassi Bhai....But the stats suggest otherwise. So a simple question what exactly is the reason behind Mohammad Siraj's lethal version in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah

Nothing to do with that. Why would one bowler influence other bowler. May be he is trying to take more responsibility. Bumrah didn't ask him to bowl like spray gun in Australia, first test.

A few factors and I could be wrong because of the fact I don't watch Indian team too much
Apart from this series Bumrah generally sits out against weaker sides where Suraj plays. Of course there are exceptions like Sirajs breakout tour but he was an unknown then and perhaps flew under the radar of the opposition and caught them by surprise.
Secondly, some bowlers respond better when they are leader of the pack and have the pressure on their shoulders.

May be because Siraj is used as a freebie in presence of Bumrah.
In 1st Test he bowled 27 overs while in this Test he bowled 19.3 overs in 1st Innings..So in absence of Bumrah he gets the treatment what Bumrah gets...and is not used as a useless tool with no care

He is bowling in tandem with Bumrah. How is he used as freebie. He conceded 19 runs in the first 2 overs at Leeds where Bumrah was unplayable. He was spraying all over.

Stats are in front of you, I didn't concoct them...Also he is the bowler who has bowled the most overs for India since 2022.

You can't blame Bumrah for that lol Siraj probably has to do the same he does when he is bowling alone. He actually bowled poorly in the entire series in Australia. Also in the first innings at Leeds he bowled poorly. In the 2nd innings he bowled well. He is a rhythm bowler. When he is in rhythm with or without Bumrah he will make things happen. When he is not in rhythm he sucks. That is why his stats are mixed

Siraj is inconsistent, when he is on song, he is a world class unplayable bowler but when he bowls badly he is very ordinary
It’s cause we are missing shami
If shami played in bgt along with gill at number 4
India win that series
If he wants to be a rhythm bowler then do bharatanattiyyum

Maybe siraj is feeling relaxed when bumrah is there and when he is not, he wants to take more resposibility

Sorry but this is a nonsensical take. What treatment are you talking about ?
Bumrah bowled 43 overs and Siraj bowled 41 overs last match.

He also needs work load management and is not a bot who could be employed all the time recklessly...and that affect his performance too

What is your thread title and what are you trying to prove now?
Your thread implies that Bumrah's presence is impacting Siraj's performance.
Now you are saying it's the extra workload affecting Siraj's performance.
If Bumrah ia absent then Siraj's workload will naturally be higher and it would appear that the higher workload is benefiting Siraj.

The thing is when Bumrah is absent, Siraj gets to bowl the new ball more often...also he isn't forced to bowl during the rough patches of the day just to wear down the opposition and control the flow of runs.What is your thread title and what are you trying to prove now?

Just recall, Siraj's fifer majority of the time results in India's triumph, Be it in Gabba, Egbaston.... This clearly shows he shines better in his absence and with more flexibility and freedom

OK. Bumrah should retire so that Siraj can shine . Got the gist of your argument.

Nope, he should get the Bumrah treatment...It's not Wasim and Waqar pair but Shoaib Akhtar needed to be pampered too.
Bumrah in cricket section is what Modi is in Time Pass for OP. He opens multiple threads on them out of insecurity.Another thread on Bumrah, after all he gave sleepless night to the certain can base

Siraj was never considered a strike bowler. Bumrah is. Strike bowlers always bowl slightly less than main bowlers. BEsides Siraj play a lot more tests as he had injury issues.

Not sure what extra treatment Bumrah gets. If anything Bumrah was overworked due to poor show from Siraj. BUmrah was treated worse when he bowled with Siraj. Shami and Ishant were much better in complementing Bumrah.

You guys need to think about it objectively, why Siraj steps up in his absence....You all criticize him for spraying in Australia but have you forgotten his bowling in the 5th Test.
He is a new ball bowler who I bet, won't get any chance even in the upcoming Lord's Test as he would be the third option with Akashdeep taking his role.

Siraj doesnt swing the ball as much as Arshadeep. So, there is no comparison with Bumrah.
Siraj has always been hot and cold in his career. He has shared the new ball so many times but has jot even been close to Bumrah. So, no comparison at all.
Even in the last match Akashdeep was the one who set up the tone. Nothing against Siraj and he is a good bowler. But we cant be delusional and blame Bumrah for non-performance of Siraj right?

And Siraj likely will be the 3rd seamer in Lords.
Bumrah and Akashdeep will share the new ball and its nothing wrong. Siraj is not a typical swing bowler and he uses wobble seam more effectively.

Majority of you guys not getting my point, he needs rest too, he needs workload management too, and he can't be forced to bowl just to wear down opposition. He has the potential and can be better utilized

Siraj never picked up injuries. Bumrah already went absent for a long period due to injury. This is second time. First injury was career breaking. It is a miracle he came back and did well. Now again India played like 10 tests in 3 months. Then IPL. Things got worse at SCG. So he went out. This is 2024 stat. Bumrah clearly bowled atleast 60 overs more than Siraj in the same amount of Tests. WHo do you think that needs be handled in cotton wool? Siraj or Bumrah here?

Siraj is no machine too, may be the appropriate parable here is keep driving a car as it hasn't breakdown yet like the big one in garage.Siraj never picked up injuries.

If he is injured like Mohd Shami he will be given the same treatment. Look at Shami. He got permanent rest as he could not get even to 30% of his ceiling after returning from injury. DIdn't get picked. Bumrah is once in a generation fast bowler. Siraj is not. There were many times people wanted him out. He should be thankful that he is getting picked in every series. Instead of India using Bumrah as a strike force they used him as a work horse thanks to inspid performances of Siraj from time to time.

Siraj and Bhumrah are both overrated. Shami was a good bowler and pressure player.

Are you seriously saying Siraj was the best bowler in the 2nd test. It was Akash that took out main batsmen with peaches after peach. Sure siraj mopped up the tail and took out crawley. Without Akash there is no way he would have been good.
Akash was better bowler by far on either side in the 2nd test.

Akash bowled very well but Siraj had a big contribution. He took out Crawley, Root and Stokes in the first innings and polishing the tail quickly too probably stopped Jamie Smith adding 50 more runs.
First innings lead set India up wonderfully.
