In the first Test against the West Indies, Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj caught the attention of everyone with his superb bowling. He was India’s most successful bowler in the first innings, where the West Indies batsmen were troubled by his pace and accurate line and length. Siraj also showed his feat in the second innings, dismissing West Indies opener Tejarayan Chandrapol and gave the visitor’s opening a jerk. This wicket proved to be very special for Siraj.
Another achievement of Mohammad Siraj
At Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Mohammad Siraj achieved something that he could not do before. In fact, Tejnarayan Chandrapol’s wicket was very special for him, as he was the first time he took the wicket in the second innings of the Test match in India. Siraj has taken more than 100 wickets in his Test career, but in his previous 14 Tests played in India, he never took a wicket in the second innings. But he finally ended his long wait. Before this match, Mohammad Siraj played 14 Tests in India, and he bowled 11 times in the third and fourth innings of the match. However, during these matches he failed to take a single wicket. He threw 5 overs in these matches, but failed to take a single wicket. However, this time he did not empty -handed on the field.
Four wickets in the first innings
The West Indies team was only able to score 3 runs in the first innings of the match and was all out. Mohammad Siraj’s bowling was the biggest reason for the West Indies poor performance. Mohammad Siraj threw 3 overs in the first innings and took four wickets for just 5 runs. He completely broke the West Indies top order. Siraj also dismissed Tejnarayan Chandrapol in the first innings. He also dismissed Alic Ethanas, Brandon King and Roston Chase.
