India's pace sensation, Mohammed Siraj, has hit a significant milestone by claiming his 200th international wicket. This achievement occurred during a crucial match against England at The Oval, London. Siraj stands tall with 202 scalps in 101 matches, maintaining an average of 29.06 and an impressive economy rate of 4.11, with his best performance of 6/15 against Australia.
The bowler shares the title of the highest wicket-taker in the ongoing series against England, with 17 wickets in five matches at an average of 37.17. Siraj's impressive dismissals include taking down England's captain Ollie Pope, the world's leading Test batter Joe Root, and Jacob Bethell, all in LBW fashion.
Despite a challenging fourth Test at Old Trafford, where Siraj conceded 140 runs in 30 overs, with limited success of just a single wicket, he has secured four five-wicket hauls in his Test career abroad. Meanwhile, India aims to bounce back with aspirations of drawing the series and restoring pride.
