More Than The Heart For Siraj, It Was His Leadership Aspect That Stood Out: Deep Dasgupta
When Mohammed Siraj: On a cloudy Monday morning, The Oval resembled a colosseum. Spectators held their breath, waiting to see which way the final game of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series would tilt – in favour of India or England?
When Mohammed Siraj charged in to bowl the first ball of the 86th over, just six runs stood between India and a famous win. On his 1,113th delivery of the series, he unleashed his fifth-fastest ball of the tour — a 143 kmph yorker that evaded Gus Atkinson’s attempted hoick and crashed into the base of the off-stump.
As India sealed a dramatic six-run win to level the series 2-2, Siraj broke into his trademark “siuuu” celebration — a nod to his footballing idol Cristiano Ronaldo — and looked upwards with arms aloft, and soaking in the feeling of making India win just 57 minutes into day five.
