Mohammed Siraj’s performance against South Africa
Recently, Mohammed Siraj received the Player of the Match award for achieving his best figures in Tests against South Africa.
Siraj’s fiery spell of 6-15 played a crucial role in bowling out the hosts for just 55 runs in their first innings, setting the stage for India’s series-levelling win.
Currently, he is gearing up to contribute to the Indian team in the upcoming series against England later this month.
