India's cricket sensation Mohammed Siraj has garnered immense respect from England's young star Harry Brook and captain Ben Stokes, following his exemplary performance in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test series. Siraj's relentless bowling across five Tests redefined workload management and led him to top the wicket-taker charts.

Despite India's urgent need for wickets, Siraj delivered crucial blows, withstanding the absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who was limited to just three Tests. The 31-year-old fast bowler shouldered the responsibility as the leader of India's pace attack, playing a pivotal role in sealing a nail-biting six-run victory in the final Test at The Oval, ensuring a series draw of 2-2 against England.

Rising star Harry Brook praised Siraj's phenomenal series, acknowledging the pacer's non-stop efforts and consistency throughout all five Tests. Captain Ben Stokes echoed similar sentiments, lauding Siraj's competitive spirit and persistence, noting it as a testament to the enduring purity and drama of Test cricket. The series has been hailed as a compelling advertisement for the format, marked by tireless battles and raw emotions.
