Have a feeling, he will run riot under lights in pink ball. He is usually one of those  kind of bowler who in rhythm runs through line ups kind of like Sreeshanth, Ishant etc. 

 

nurse!

Siraj has bowled with pace ,has taken wickets in IPL.

He should support Bumrah as the 2nd pacer on England tour

He is the only one available who runs in and bowl all day. India has no choice but to stick with him with the loss of Shami.

Playing 5th Test in a row. Exemplary commitment :hatsoff:. 

 

Hope he gets rewarded for that this game.

Vile fan of fatso who dropped million catches in NZ series despite parking his arse in the slips because hec  couldn't run. 

 

Siraj has been immense. Indian pacer playing all 5 match in the series without dropping below 85 mph is unheard of 

[Ultimate_Game]

Siraj is someone who takes one step forward and two back. Can't hold the bat or support a set batter, drops sitters, and his general low IQ damages the team much more than the benefit his bowling provides.

 

There's a reason we finally won our 2 ICC tournies when Siraj wasn't playing. He was dropped in knockouts in WT20 and wasn't in the team in CT. If he had been there I have no doubts his low IQ cricket - a drop or a 16 run over or a mindless runout would've made sure we lost.

 

IMO his brainless, low IQ cricket won't help us in the longer run. He's a brainless moron but won't make a difference as this series has shown. Twice he wasn't able to help the team defend a total of 370+ in the 4th innings and when the game was on the line, his lack of common sense with the bat or dropped catch turned the match.

Talk nah

Absolutely lion hearted performance. Happy for him after Lords heartbreak

 

Also a very likable and passionate guy. I still remember him crying during national anthem after not being able to go back to his father's funeral due to covid

Sachhi! He plays the game with his heart which is needed sometimes. He just needs to get out of Bumrah’s shadow!! Someone needs drill it in his head.

Finished with a mic dropping moment. Amazing speeds on the last day.

Siraj was always supposed to be an excellent Test bowler. What he has done in his 41 Tests is a bit underwhelming. He has had some brilliant spells but in between that he has been ordinary. I just hope he gets some consistency in his bowling. He is way better than his stats suggest. He should to be a 26-27 averaging Test bowler. 

[vvvslaxman]

Siraj's final ball was 5th fastest delivery of his in this series. Did Siraj take 70 wickets for India A?

 

 

[putrevus]

I am so glad that this guy ended up on right side.The catch which he turned into six was such a school boy error.

 

But the energy levels he brought to the table was just off the charts.Can he become consistent is the question.

[vvvslaxman]

For the first time Siraj has taken a single wicket in second innings in India !!

 

 

[crictime]

7 wickets for 71 runs in first test against WI. That it came on a subcontinent surface which are not friendly for pacers makes it even much more remarkable. One of the big contribution resulting in a big win by innings and 140 runs. 

[crictime]

He is now the highest wicket taker in tests in 2025.
