Mohammed Siraj, a Team India pacer, recently met Jwala Gutta, a badminton standout. The two athletes also posed for a photo, which Basanth Jain posted.
Jain is a sports agent and represents Siraj and Gutta. He also looks after a few others like Hanuma Vihari, Piyush Chawla, and Pragyan Ojha.
Siraj took a break during England’s second Test in Visakhapatnam for work balance reasons. Mukesh Kumar played in his place for this Hyderabad-born sportsman. Kumar only snagged one wicket throughout the game.
Mohammed Siraj too had a poor performance in Hyderabad, bowling 11 overs for no wickets in both innings.
