Mohammed Siraj has garnered significant praise for his exceptional performance in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar trophy series. He was the only Indian bowler to participate in all five Tests, consistently delivering breakthroughs and making a substantial impact on the game. Siraj’s efforts were particularly crucial in anchoring India’s pace attack, especially in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. English batter Joe Root lauded Siraj’s dedication, highlighting his willingness to bowl over 180 overs despite the workload. Root described Siraj as a ‘warrior’ and emphasized his value to any team, citing his commitment to the game and his skillful approach.
