Siraj ended the series as the highest wicket-taker. He claimed five-wicket hauls at both Edgbaston and the Oval. His spells were crucial in key moments when India needed him most.
Siraj’s Heroics at the Oval: A Game-Changer for India
In the final Test at the Oval, Siraj delivered a brilliant spell with the old ball. He helped India dismiss England for 367 while defending a target of 374. His second-innings five-wicket haul played a major role in India’s famous six-run victory.“Unbelievable. Superb approach. I love his attitude. I love the spring in his legs. For a fast bowler to be constantly in your face like that, no batsman will like it. “The approach he had till the end on the last day—I could hear commentators saying he was still bowling around 90 mph (145 kph), after delivering over 1,000 balls in the series. That shows his courage and big heart
Tendulkar Highlights Siraj’s Consistency
Siraj was named Player of the Match. He took nine wickets across both innings. Tendulkar highlighted that Siraj often goes unnoticed despite delivering match-winning spells under pressure“The way he started on the last day was remarkable,” Tendulkar said. “He’s always been instrumental. Whenever we need him, he delivers that knockout punch. He has done it consistently. That was the case in this series too.”Tendulkar concluded by saying Siraj doesn’t always get the recognition he deserves. With this remarkable series, Siraj has now cemented his place as one of India’s most dependable fast bowlers in crunch situations.
