In his debut series in 2020-21, Mohammed Siraj impressed with 13 wickets in Australia, followed by 18 wickets in England. His recent form for Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2025 has raised expectations for his performance in the upcoming England series. With Jasprit Bumrah possibly being rested, Siraj will play a crucial role in leading India’s bowling attack.
Former India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey believes Siraj has the potential to shoulder the responsibility alongside Bumrah. After a break from international cricket, Siraj worked on his game and returned to the IPL in top form. Mhambrey praises Siraj’s consistent rhythm, length, and use of the crease, comparing it to his standout performance in the 2023 Asia Cup final.
With 100 wickets in 36 Tests, Siraj’s experience will be key in England, especially when Bumrah is rested. The Indian team is counting on Siraj to step up as the lead bowler and make a big impact on the tour. His ability to cope with increased responsibility will be crucial in determining his success.
