Dale Steyn Predicts Mohammed Siraj's Five-Wicket Haul in Final Test
Dale Steyn's Endorsement for Mohammed Siraj
In a significant show of support, renowned South African fast bowler Dale Steyn has expressed confidence in India's Mohammed Siraj, predicting he will achieve a five-wicket haul in the upcoming fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, set to commence on Thursday at The Oval.
Steyn, celebrated as one of the finest fast bowlers in cricket history, shared his thoughts on social media, stating, "Siraj to take a fifer in 5th Test."
Currently, Siraj has emerged as a key performer in the series, having claimed 14 wickets, placing him as the third-highest wicket-taker. With one match remaining, he has a strong chance to top the leaderboard.
Mohammed Siraj Approaches a Career Milestone
The 31-year-old pacer from Hyderabad is on the brink of a significant milestone, needing just one more wicket to reach 200 wickets in international cricket.
This achievement could come during the decisive fifth Test against England at The Oval in London.
Following a psychologically uplifting draw at Old Trafford, Team India is determined to level the series at 2-2, aiming to finish on a high note.
Siraj Seeks Redemption After Manchester Test
For Siraj, it is crucial to bounce back after a disappointing performance in the Manchester Test, where he conceded 140 runs in 30 overs, capturing only one wicket, that of Chris Woakes, with an economy rate of 4.70.
As the teams prepare for the final showdown at The Oval, all eyes will be on Siraj to see if he can fulfill Steyn's prediction and deliver a match-winning performance for India.
