#GambhirsFirstAssignment: Shock as Kohli's Friend Siraj Gets Injured 😱
🏏 Team India, currently on tour in Sri Lanka, is set to play T20s followed by ODIs. This tour marks Gautam Gambhir's first assignment as head coach. The squad includes senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, along with most of the T20 World Cup team, except for Jasprit Bumrah, who has been rested. The T20 series against Sri Lanka starts on July 27.
🚨 Bad news struck Team India as senior bowler Mohammad Siraj got injured during practice. Siraj, who was set to lead the pace attack in Bumrah's absence, suffered a severe leg injury. Immediate medical attention was given, but Siraj did not participate in the subsequent practice sessions. His participation in the first T20 on July 27 is doubtful, according to team management.
🤔 With Gambhir aiming to start his coaching tenure with a win, Siraj's injury poses a challenge. The team management is considering Khaleel Ahmed, Arshdeep Singh, and possibly Avesh Khan or Mukesh Kumar to replace Siraj.
