Veteran Indian batter Ajinkya Rahane praised pacer Mohammed Siraj for always standing up to expectations when needed.
Mohammed Siraj ended the 5-match series as the highest wicket-taker-with 23 success to his name. His performance earned plenty of praises from Ajinkya Rahane, who also happened to recall an incident from 2020-21 series.
“What I like about Siraj is that he always liked to bowl longer spells. Even in the 2020-21 series, he was willing to do that with the same intensity. In Australia, when he was making his debut, he was angry because I had introduced him into the attack very late,” said Rahane on his YouTube channel.
“He still has the anger inside him. This anger brings out the best in Mohammed Siraj. We saw in the England series. The aggression in his bowling and the intensity with which he bowls, he is always warmed up by the time he bowls his first ball. This is the great quality of a great bowler,” he added.
