An emotional Mohammed Siraj on Monday opened up about the Lord’s heartbreak, where India lost the Test match by 22 runs. The last-wicket partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Siraj had raised India's hopes. But Siraj was bowled despite connecting the ball with the middle of his bat.Siraj admitted it took a while to overcome the defeat.“It took a lot of time. Because that match was such that, in the last, in 2021 (at Lord’s), I took the last wicket (of James Anderson). Then, in such a situation, when I was there, I thought I could do it again…,” he told reporters at Old Trafford.Lion-hearted Siraj also opened up about why he gives everything on the pitch every time he dons the Indian jersey.(I play for my country). I always give my 100 percent," he said."And since I do that, when I sleep at night, there should be that feeling inside that I gave my 100 percent… even if I didn’t get the result I wanted, it’s fine.”When asked about his workload management, Siraj smiled and said: “(fit, fine)… touch wood! (The Almighty has kept me so healthy, touch wood). This workload is what science(science people) write in books. My goal is simple – I want to play as many matches for my country as I can.”The fourth Test between India and England will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester, starting July 23.
