Mohammed Siraj: On the Brink of a Historic Milestone

Mohammed Siraj is poised for a momentous occasion as he steps onto the field at Manchester's Old Trafford Stadium for his 100th international match against England. With two more wickets, Siraj will hit the prestigious 200-wicket milestone in international cricket.

Since making his debut, the fast bowler has taken 198 wickets across 99 matches, averaging 28.53, with a standout performance of 6/15. Siraj's remarkable career boasts a range of accolades, including key roles in India's ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and Asia Cup 2023 triumphs. His sensational 6/21 against Sri Lanka bagged him the 'Player of the Match' title in the Asia Cup final.

Known for his efficiency in overseas conditions, Siraj has been instrumental to the Indian squad, particularly in Tests across South Africa, Australia, West Indies, and England. His overseas success places him only behind teammate Jasprit Bumrah in terms of wickets taken since his 2020 Test debut. As he gears up for what could be a match-winning performance against England, all eyes will be on Siraj at Manchester.
