The Story in Brief
Mohammed Siraj turned batter to steer India to a six-wicket win over Sri Lanka Cricket XI in a three-day warm-up. Needing 16 off the final over, Siraj smashed 6, 6, 6, 4 to seal the thrilling victory on day three. NDTV Sports reports the performance was unexpected for a bowler known for his pace rather than batting.
The Indian Opinion
A bowler smashing four sixes to win a match is exciting, but some will exaggerate this into proof that Siraj is a genuine all-rounder. One warm-up innings against a Sri Lanka XI side does not change his primary role. The real test comes when India face quality pace attacks in a proper match. Can Siraj repeat this under pressure when it truly matters?
