IND vs AUS: Combined XI from WTC Final 2023

11. Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj has improved his game drastically and has become the prime bowler for India. The aggressive nature and fierce bowling spells are a treat to watch. The bowler has maintained a tight line whenever he has been provided with the opportunity to open the bowling for Team India. 

Siraj was no different in the World Test Championship Finale, he was the reason India could get early breakthroughs and was right on target from the very first ball he bowled. In both innings, Siraj gave India the first breakthrough and was questioning the Australian batters with tight line and length. 

Mohammed Siraj took a four-wicket haul in the first innings and was involved in the dismissal of Usman Khwaja and Travis Head. Siraj has shown the hunger to take wickets and the way he was running in when the odds were against India, showed his grit and determination to play for the country and perform on the big stage. Although the result didn’t go in India’s favour, Mohammed Siraj gave a glimpse of what to expect of him in future matches.
