Mohammad Siraj is establishing himself as the mainstay of India's bowling attack in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, as the leading wicket taker with 20 total wickets. His latest four-wicket haul at The Oval busted open the middle order of an England batting lineup that was thriving and gave the beleaguered Indian side some hope of coming back from the dead in a tense Test and pushed the England innings forward with guesswork. Siraj's figures of 4/86 should underline that he has dismissed big names such as Joe Root, Ollie Pope, Jacob Bethell, and Harry Brook, which once again shows he is a player for the big occasion. Siraj now leads for wickets so far in the series, ahead of Josh Tongue (19), Ben Stokes (17), Jasprit Bumrah (14), and Akash Deep (12). Aside from the numbers, his phenomenal energy, the ability to take wickets at long lengths, and proud emotional celebrations have already endeared Siraj to us as the anthem of India’s pace attack on this tour.

Siraj bowled more overs than any other bowler in the five-match series—a great testament to his fitness and ability to manage his workload. Whether flat tracks or seam-friendly conditions, the right-arm quick has consistently provided breakthroughs and interventions that India needed the most. To think we went from a support bowler to leading the attack in Bumrah's absence shows the amazing progression. As the series unfolds, social media users across the world consider it "Miyan Magic" and celebrate his presence and impact on the team's performance and morale, not only as a skill with the ball but also with intensity and delightful exuberance.
