The performance was met with heartfelt praise from cricket luminaries Virat Kohli and Dale Steyn.
The final day saw Siraj, alongside Prasidh Krishna, charging the English line-up under overcast London skies. With England standing just 35 runs from victory and four wickets in hand, Siraj's blistering pace, clocking 140kph, dismantled England's hopes of reaching the 374-run target.
