Mohammed Siraj’s stocks have soared high after the Test series Down Under earlier this year. The pacer picked up 13 wickets in three Tests against the Kangaroos, including a five-wicket haul.
He continued to impress in the home series against England, with three wickets in two Tests. The 27-year-old pacer has also started this year’s IPL brightly, picking up five wickets in four games, at an economy rate of 6.06.
Nehra lauded Mohammed Siraj as an ‘all-format bowler.’ The left-arm pacer seemed quite pleased with the way Siraj has been executing his variations.
Ashish Nehra believes that a good red-ball bowler could excel in the shorter formats of the game as well. He also hinted that Siraj finds an edge in this regard, as he has done well in Test cricket.
“Sky is the limit for Mohammed Siraj” - Ashish Nehra
Ashish Nehra, though, maintained that Mohammed Siraj would have to keep his fitness levels up, while also working on the mental aspect of his game.
This year, Mohammed Siraj has been picked in the RCB line-up ahead of Navdeep Saini. Along with Harshal Patel, the 27-year-old has helped the team resolve issues the Virat Kohli-led team has faced in terms of bowling, thus playing a crucial role in the side’s four consecutive wins.
