Mohammed Siraj
Indian speedster Mohammed Siraj emerged as one of the highlights of the Test series win against Australia earlier this year. Siraj played his maiden game during the Melbourne Test and since then, he has never looked back in his career.
The Hyderabad cricketer finished the series with 13 wickets from three matches against his name. Meanwhile, he also picked his maiden five-wicket haul during the iconic victory in the series decider at the Gabba. The 27-year-old played two Tests during the home series against England as well where he claimed three scalps.
In a recent chat with The Hindu Siraj mentioned that he’s more confident and mature than ever. The right-hander said that he has worked a lot on his line and length apart from improving his all-round skills as a bowler.
“Yes, I am more confident and mature now. Worked a lot on my line and length besides trying to improve my all-round skills as a bowler. Old Siraj is a story of the past, you will see a new Siraj for sure,” said Siraj as quoted by The Hindu.
‘Having Virat Bhai as India captain is a huge plus for me’: Siraj
Mohammed Siraj mentioned that all the senior members of the current Indian team’s set-up have always given him invaluable tips that helped him grow as a bowler. The youngster also heaped praises for the team’s skipper Virat Kohli for backing him up. Siraj further expressed his wish of becoming a permanent member of the Indian team for a long, long time.
“It is a great feeling to be part of this Indian team which can beat the best on their home soil. Personally, I am enjoying the kind of competition I face for a slot in such a formidable outfit. The best part is that all the seniors are so good and open to giving invaluable tips. This is helping me learn a lot about the art of pace bowling,” the Hyderabad-born exclaimed.
“Yes, having Virat Bhai as India captain is a huge plus for me. Playing under him for four IPL seasons for RCB, he trusts me, understands my bowling, and knows how to get the best out of me. I want to be a permanent member of the Indian team for a long, long time. I know what kind of struggle I had gone through after a bad 2019 IPL season to push myself back into contention,” concluded Siraj.
