Ravichandran Ashwin, criticising the tendency to pull one down while praising another, said, "Celebrate Mohammed Siraj, but leave Jasprit Bumrah alone." Highlighting differences between the two bowlers, he added, "Bumrah...bowls wicket-taking balls and keeps the match in control...Siraj gives runs but when things aren't going the team's way, he finds a way to get a breakthrough for the captain."
