In the absence of spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, Team India needed their other bowlers to step up their game at Edgbaston after losing the opening Test of the series in Leeds. Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep put up their hand and ran through the England lineup to set up a historic win. Arshdeep Singh shared a video of his India teammates Siraj and Akash, labelling them as ‘Do Bhai Dono Tabaahi’.
