That man bowled long spells without questioning anything, new ball, hard ball, soft ball, nothing! At some point, when he was tiring, there was no shortage in terms of his intent. Even the 1113th ball he bowled in the series came at a speed of 143kmph! Siraj, who stood devastated at Lord's, honestly had nothing to do with the ball. He did middle it perfectly, but it rolled back. He he knelt down in despair; little did he know that the final ball of the series would come from his hand! At Oval, as Siraj was repeatedly mentioning, he pledged to rectify his mistake, dropping Harry Brook's catch. There might be laughs at him calling a wallpaper an emoji, but the fact that he believed it is what made the India jump from their sofa in joy. As Joe Root said, behind the fake angriness, Siraj is a man every team will want to have in the team! And the 24 wickets he got are nothing compared to the hours he spent running on the deck.
