India vs Australia: Getting debut cap was biggest achievement of my life, says Mohammed Siraj
FirstpostMohammed Siraj took two wickets on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test after making his debut. Debutant pacer Mohammed Siraj on Saturday termed receiving the India Test cap as his life’s “biggest achievement” and said he made it count by focussing on bowling dot balls to build pressure on the Australian batsmen. I gained a lot of confidence speaking with Ajju bhai and Jassi bhai,” Siraj, who became the 298th player to play Test cricket for India, told bcci.tv. “After lunch when I came in, it had turned into a batting wicket and my plan was to bowl as many dot balls as possible and build pressure.” The 26-year Siraj dismissed Marnus Labuschagne for his maiden Test wicket and then trapped Cameron Green in front of wicket with an inswinger after testing the batsman with plenty of outswingers.
