'Iron Body With Heart Of A Lion': Irfan Pathan Lauds Siraj's Magical Spell After India's Famous Win At Oval

By IANS News August 04, 2025 • 18:02 PM View: 524

Irfan Pathan: Former India allrounder Irfan Pathan termed Mohammed Siraj a person with "an iron body with heart of a lion" after the pacer produced one of the best spells of his Test career to guide India to a miraculous six-run win against England in the fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval here on Monday.

With the thrilling win, the Shubman Gill-led side levelled the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2.

On the final day of the series finale, India required four wickets with only 35 runs to defend. However, the way Siraj and Prasidh Krishna bowled in the opening spell of the day, the tide shifted in the tourists' favour.
