As India roared over the English lions in their most glamorous den, the birth of a new star preceded all the speculations, the birth of Siraj.
Not exactly the birth of a new star, but the excel of a rising star to be precise. Just when Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler started to frustrate the Indian bowlers with a brief spell of resistance that is when Siraj came back and struck on consecutive deliveries to rattle the spirit of England.
Delivering poetic justice, it had to be Siraj to strike the telling blow when he kissed Anderson’s timbre to snuff out the English hopes.
Siraj has been absolutely phenomenal in the recent days and the way he has been bowling for India is a beacon of even better days to come.
He blends his pace and swing in perfect proportions to trouble the batsman incessantly. A momentary lapse of concentration and you may be on your long walk back to the pavilion.
This is what Laxman had to say about Siraj
VVS Laxman praised the meteoric ascent of Siraj who went through a roller-coaster ride to kiss the skies. From being on the list of subs, to losing his father just ahead of one of the most important assignments
After the collective praises from the nation heaped on Siraj, VVS Laxman, one of India’s most special Test batsmen opened up about the budding pace man. He tweeted, “Met him for the first time at frmr Hyderabad great Abdul Azeem’s residence. And I feel so proud to see the rapid progress #Siraj has already made in intern’al cricket. His life is another testament of what one can achieve through hardwork & will-power.More power to you young man.”

It isn’t just Laxman who has praised Siraj but the entire nation has been heaping plaudits on the express bowler who claimed 8 wickets in the Lord’s Test to pave India’s path for glory.
