Mohammed Siraj bowled one of the most devastating spells by an Indian fast bowler, taking six for 21, as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 50. The visitors knocked off the runs in 6.1 overs without losing any wicket.

Jasprit Bumrah (5-1-23-1) started it all with a wicket off the third ball and then Siraj just ripped the opposition's batting lineup by taking four wickets in the fourth over alone.

After winning the toss, Sri Lanka found themselves in an embarrassing situation losing their first six wickets for 12 runs. Their innings ended in just 15.2 overs

The bowler flew back with the rest of the Test returnees in Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, KS Bharat and Navdeep Saini.

After India's draw in the second Test against the West Indies in Trinidad, resulting in a 1-0 series triumph, Rohit Sharma's outstanding performances have propelled him to the ninth position in the batters' rankings. He achieved this feat with impressive scores of 80 and 57 in the match.

Siraj showcased exactly why the team management entrusted him with responsibilities and relishes challenges.

In 2022, Siraj was a pale shadow of his dominating present self, taking only nine wickets in 15 games at an economy rate of 10.08, apart from conceding 31 sixes in the league.

India pacer Mohammed Siraj was approached during the ODI series between India and Australia in March and he immediately reported the matter to Anti-Corruption Unit officials on Wednesday.

It's a remarkable rise for Siraj, who only returned to India's ODI setup in February last year following a three-year hiatus from the format and was even named in Men's ODI Team of the Year for 2022 on Tuesday.

"In terms of Ishan, yeah, he will be batting middle order. I'm glad he could get a run here after that fine knock in Bangladesh," Rohit said in the pre-game press conference before the first ODI against New Zealand.

The pacer has improved leaps and bounds in the last one year and he emerged top wicket-taker in the ODI series against Sri Lanka

India recorded a stunning 317-run win in the third and final ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday with Siraj leading the way with a four-wicket haul to complete a 3-0 series victory.

Mohammad Siraj struck on his very first ball of the innings against Bangladesh at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. Siraj dismissed Najmul Hossain Shanto for a golden duck as the former obtained a thick outside edge when he tried to play the off-side delivery. 

Bowling in the middle and death overs, Siraj made great use of hard lengths and hitting the pitch hard at a favourable McLean Park pitch to take out Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, and Mitchell Santner in a fiery career-best spell of 4/17 in four overs.

The pacer picked up five wickets in his first county match, playing for Warwickshire in the County Championship Division One.

Edgbaston: “It was a memorable series in Australia (in 2020-21). This will also be memorable (if we win),” Mohammed Siraj told media after the third day’s play in the fifth and final Test against England. The Hyderabad fast bowler took four wickets for 66 in the home side’s first innings to emerge as India’s most successful […]

Hyderabad: November 4, 2017. Mohammed Siraj will never forget this day. The Hyderabad pace bowler had a nightmarish start to his international career when he had figures of 4-0-53-1 against New Zealand in Rajkot in his first T20 international. The 27-year-old played two more T20 internationals but with more or less same results. He was […]
