Timesofindia.com in London: “Mohammad Siraj has a muscle that is bigger than someone … his heart.” These were the words of Varun Aaron during the commentary, but they were the feelings of all the people who watched oval or from the stand in the house. Another lion-dil mantra, honest attempt and another outing of Mohammad Sirj showed why he remains a rare breed.
This was not a magic where you would stand and appreciate a delivery for the work of sheer skills or art. It was not a magic where the seam position after release would become a museum for photographers. And, it was clearly not a magic where mischief came from the pitch in his support. However, this was another mantra of Mavrica who was playing the fifth consecutive test, which was written on it. When he collides with the rhythm, as he had done during that eight-over burst post lunch, he turns into a separate animal and the ball behaves differently than the whole day, even from the same place. This extra effort, even in the fifth test of the series, where he has already sent down in 150 overs, is not only a reflection of his skills, but a will of his character, which he wears on his sleeve.In the second session, he took three wickets through the opposition middle-order and allowed India to fight back in the game after a very normal start with a new ball. But the moment the ball lost its glow, 31 -year -old saw more control and kept pinging the right areas, and the effort took care of the rest.Oli Pope, Joe Root, Jacob Bethel did not survive the play -of -the -run -of -the -run period. While the first two sharp arrivals were undone from those additional yards after the movement and pitching, Bethel had no clue about Yorker, who stuck him right in front of him. The yorker was fired in his seventh straight spell, but he had up his tail and the spring continued for one more time before Captain Shubman Gill was removed from the attack.This was another unrealistic effort by the bowler who has given it in different circumstances and conditions throughout the series. He has been a workheors for the Indian team in his second five consecutive five-prone series and served another reminder why he should be celebrated, and even more appreciated. Siraj is a player who should be judged only on wicket, strike-rate and other numeric readings.

What do you think is the biggest feature of Mohammad Siraj as a bowler?
He steps his heart and soul on the field for the team every time, and there are no half measures clearly. He thanked Almighty for blessing him with good fitness, but more than blessings, it is his wish, drive and energy that continues him. And dropped him in an oval in one afternoon. In a series where the bowlers of both teams have been rotated, managed and preserved, Siraj remains an exception, which has gone hard every time.Right-Arm is a man of a proper team, the Captain’s dream and the misery of the opposition because he does not give an inch as far as the effort is concerned. There are days closed, uncertain mantras, lack of rhythm but there is no lack of intentions. While others keep their biomechanics in check for these marathon outing, Siraj does not need to be complicated. For that, all this is about putting his heart behind the ball when he stands above the bowling mark. He has already done 932 occasions in the series, and the second essay is ready to go one for the last time.
