IPL 2024: Siraj Needs Rest, Not Only Physical, Mental As Well, Says Harbhajan Singh Over Pacer's Poor Form
Indian Premier League: Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh believes Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast-bowler Mohammed Siraj needs both mental and physical rest following another nightmarish outing in IPL 2024 against Mumbai Indians.
In six matches, Siraj has taken just four wickets, with his average and economy rate standing at 57.25 and 10.40 respectively. Siraj shone in IPL 2023 with 10 scalps coming at an economy rate of 5.9 in Power-play.
But in IPL 2024, he has an economy rate of 12.3 in Power-play and has conceded 10 sixes in this phase of the game for RCB. "He should be given rest for a couple of reasons. He should think about what has been happening in the team. He is the same Siraj that we have seen taking wickets with the new ball whether it's in Test cricket, one-day cricket or even this format in T20.”
