‘Immaculate’, ex-cricketers applaud Mohammed Siraj’s fiery opening spell in IND vs SA 2nd Test

Mohammed Siraj’s on fire! After a disappointing first Test, the pacer came out with vengeance in the IND vs SA 2nd Test. After a great first over, Siraj got Aiden Markram his second over as Yashasvi Jaiswal took a good catch in the third slip. In his next over, he induced an inside edge off the bat off skipper Dean Elgar that rattled the stumps.

In his 5th over, he continued his form, getting Tony de Zorzi strangled down the leg. A tiring Mohammed Siraj continued to bowl. In his 8th consecutive over, he dismissed David Bedingham and Marco Jansen to claim his maiden fifer in South Africa.

However, the bowler was far from done. With no signs of fatigue, Siraj came steaming in once again. This time, the only batter left, Kyle Verreynne, was his victim, as South Africa were reduced to 45-7.

Great job by Siraj and Bumrah. If Mukesh and Prasidh can apply same pressure India will have a great opportunity to win this test #SAvIND

Agressive team selection from India. They’ve sacrificed batting to strengthen the bowling and understandably so as it’s a must win game. The start from Siraj and Bumrah has been immaculate. Now for Prasidh and Mukesh to not let SA off the hook. #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/txnL85eT06
