Sunil Gavaskar also revealed that Siraj will be playing a Test match in a few days, so to get back into rhythm, he needed to feature in the final ODI game. He played the second unofficial Test match and looked in good form as the former captain also feels that bowling in a match is lot more different than in nets.
"Had he been resting only in the five ODIs, he would definitely have been bowling in the nets, but there is a huge difference between the net and match temperament. You don't have any pressure in the nets. There is no pressure of no-balls or batters hitting you for fours and sixes," Gavaskar observed.
