He doesn’t scream.
He doesn’t sledge.
He doesn’t need to.
Because Mohammed Siraj lets the ball do the talking — and this series, it spoke loud and lethal. 🎯
🌪️ Oval Test – Siraj’s Statement Spell
In the final Test at The Oval, when England were cruising at 101/2 in the 2nd innings, Siraj came in with venom.
- Clean bowled Crawley with a sharp in-ducker 🔥
- Trapped Pope LBW with one that stayed low 💣
- Got Root with a perfect outswinger 😱
- Ended Bairstow’s stay with a snorter 🪓
Figures: 4/45 – match-defining.
He ripped through the middle order like a chainsaw through butter, flipping the match on its head.
🛠️ The Siraj Blueprint – Not Express, Just Smart
Unlike Bumrah’s thunderbolts or Shami’s zip, Siraj thrives on intelligence:
- Angles across the stumps 🧠
- Subtle seam movements 🔍
- Relentless consistency 🎯
- That deadly wobble seam ball – it’s his trademark now.
And guess what?
He’s now India’s leading Test wicket-taker in 2025.
👑 From Net Bowler to Oval Hero
Let’s not forget — Siraj was once just a net bowler in the Indian team, carrying drinks and dreams.
He made his debut in the toughest of times (Aus tour 2020–21), lost his father midway, but stayed on.
That fight never left him.
Now?
He’s India’s most dependable Test seamer after Bumrah.
And in English conditions? He’s gold.
🧩 Fantasy God Alert
Low ownership.
High reward.
Siraj’s 4-fer and tight economy meant bonus points galore for fantasy players who trusted him.
He’s not flashy — but he delivers every single damn time.
