In the wake of Mohammed Siraj's heroic performance during the fifth Test match between India and England at The Oval, former England all-rounder Moeen Ali stated that India's star pacer has matured into a genuine match-winner for his side, making it challenging for a batsman to face him.
"Siraj has been outstanding in the England series. The energy, aggression, and consistency he brings with the ball is world-class. He's matured into a genuine match-winner for India, and it's always a challenge for batsmen facing him," said Moeen in a release from GFS Developments.
In the recently concluded five-match Test series against England, the pacer claimed 23 wickets, which was the highest by any bowler in the tournament. The series, however, ended in a 2-2 draw.
