Mohammed Siraj has been a consistent bowler for the Indian team. Even though he has gone wicketless on many occasions, he never stopped bowling well.

Siraj said, "I always keep talking to Jassi bhai, Even before the first match, I spoke with him about what I was going through & he just told me one thing - don't run after wickets, just keep bowling consistently in one area & enjoy your bowling. If you still don't get wickets, then you come to ask me. So I enjoyed my bowling and I got wickets as well."

Bumrah has been a terrific bowler in recent times for the Indian team. His transformation is a learning experience for the young cricketers who follow him and take inspiration from him. In the 1st Test match, he was the captain of the team and claimed eight wickets.

He led India to a historic victory of 295 runs. The nation will remember the player and his deeds for the team always. Even though Rohit Sharma has returned to the team, Bumrah's passion on the ground in the 1st game will never be forgotten. 

India's real Test starts on December 6

Well, the Indian cricket team has achieved a lot of success in Australia but winning in a Pink ball Test isn't one of them. The 1st Test went well for the team but the real Test will start on December 6 at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. The day/night game wouldn't be easy for India since they haven't had much practice with the ball.

Moreover, Australia will be in dire need of a win, so they will try their best to win the game. Their qualifications for WTC will be at stake if they lose a game. The 2nd Test match will become an intriguing game for the audience in particular because the intensity of the game will be high.
