Mohammed Siraj is an Indian cricketer who plays as a right-arm fast bowler for the Indian national team. He also plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League and Hyderabad in domestic cricket.
Mohammed Siraj registered his career-best figures of 6-15. Shardul Thakur (7-61) and Harbhajan Singh (7-120) both have seven-wicket hauls in South Africa, but of all Indians, no bowler had conceded as few while taking five wickets in the country. Mohammed Shami had taken 5-28 at Johannesburg in 2017/18. Among Indians, Siraj needed the eighth-fewest balls to take five wickets (47) and the second-fewest to six wickets (53). The records rest, in that order, with Harbhajan (27) and Jasprit Bumrah (37). Siraj’s 6-15 are the second-best figures by any bowler in the first session of a Test match, after Stuart Broad’s 8-15 at Nottingham in 2015.
