Siraj will get his opportunities and he will go on to become a successful Test bowler. But for now, Ishant and Shami probably hadn’t done much wrong to be dropped! Excited for Cricket’s version of The Last Dance. Hope rain stays away. #WTCFinal

It is hard on Siraj but Ishant's incredible numbers over the last few years and, I suspect, confidence in his current fitness level, have tilted it in his favour. This is as complete a bowling attack as you can get

Indias team. Experience. Ishant over Siraj. Two spinners. All the very best. @BCCI @imVkohli pic.twitter.com/4mNoJj1cVd

No Brainer!

No brainer actually. Four fast bowers weakens batting, extra batsman weakens bowling, both spinners add depth to bowling and batting. Ishant/Shami preferred to hugely talented Siraj because of greater international experience. Siraj’s time as regular not far away https://t.co/N79UkbOQde
