Siraj is a great asset to this Indian Team : VVS Laxman lauds the team India pacer
Xtra Time Web Desk : Former Team India batsman and stalwart VVS Laxman has lauded Mohammed Siraj for his brilliant performance in the Test arena so far.
After registering impressive performances against Australia and England earlier this year and against New Zealand recently, the speedster has made himself a worthy contender for a place in Team India's Test team.
After Siraj's brilliant performance against Kiwis in Mumbai, the NCA chief in an interview said, "He had a fantastic plan of bowling short-pitched deliveries and getting the important wicket of captain Latham. I enjoy his energy and intensity. The way he runs in hard towards the crease and it's great to see him show so much confidence in his craft. He is growing and progressing really well as a Test match bowler. We have seen the way he performed when Bumrah, Shami and Ishant were not there in Australia. To go and back it up with impressive performances in England against a good batting line-up."
"The way he bowled on the surface - which assisted his style of bowling, and then the length he bowled on, and the way he consistently bowled with the seam. He is a great asset to this Indian team. Make no mistake. He is one of the world's best at the moment," he added.
With the South Africa tour coming up, it would be interesting to see how the quickie from Hyderabad performs against the Proteas.
