Yuvraj Singh's father, Yograj Singh, has compared Mohammed Siraj to legendary India captain Kapil Dev and said the series draw felt like winning a war against England. "The way Mohammed Siraj bowled, he reminded me of Kapil Dev. I remember Kapil was injured and picked up five wickets. Siraj was clocking 146. 'Bande ne taange jama di goron ki' (He froze the England cricketers' feet)," Yograj told ANI.
Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj press conference: India stars answer all questions
The 67-year-old also lauded Shubman Gill's captaincy and slammed those who were questioning his elevation to the role. "At the start of the Test series, questions were raised about Shubman Gill's captaincy. But he has silenced all the critics," he said. "No cricketing great questioned the selection, barring one, who said Gill is a new captain. But my question is — have you learnt everything from your mother's womb? That is wrong. You need to support your players. "The captaincy of Shubman Gill was so mature. It did not seem at all that he was captaining for the first time. The credit goes to Shubman Gill's father and Yuvraj Singh," he said. Yograj said the most impressive thing about this series was the way Indian cricketers fought. "I felt like the loss at Lord's was a win. The draw at Old Trafford was also like a win. The way they have fought — that was amazing to see," he said. "Each one of them fought. Pant was injured, yet he came to bat. 'Ye humne jung jeeti hai goron se' (This wasn’t just a series — we’ve won a battle against the English). "I am so proud of this team. I want to give all of them a warm hug and tell them that I am proud to be born in India and proud that each one of you plays for India," he said.

HYDERABAD: Gopalapuram police have registered five new cases against the head of Srushti Fertility Clinic Dr Athaluri Namratha alias Pachipala Namratha, and others based on complaints lodged by five sets of victims. While in one case a couple alleged that the doctor handed them a baby whose DNA did not match theirs, three other couples accused the clinic of adopting dubious methods. They claimed that they had already paid the money â anywhere from Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 19 lakh â and even deposited their biological samples when they grew suspicious about the operations of Dr Namratha and her clinic.
