DivyaDelhi: Mohammed Siraj excelled for India in a summer Test series despite injury, uncertainty, and expectations. For his spectacular performance in India's five-Test tour of England, the Hyderabad pacer has been nominated for the ICC Player of the Month Award for August.The shortlist includes New Zealand's Matt Henry and West Indies' Jayden Seales, but Indian fans are proud of Siraj's wickets and commitment.Siraj spearheaded India's bowling attack in a series with many injuries. He was the only Indian pacer to play all five Tests and bowled 185.3 overs, the most in the series.No decrease in intensity. From Lord's to The Oval, Siraj was hungry. Losing veteran bowlers to injury is tough. After the series, a senior BCCI official said Siraj took responsibility, ran in, and delivered. “Not just bowling overs. Match-defining spells bowled.”The intensity behind Siraj's swing and bounce sets him apart. His enthusiasm spreads. His powerful, controlled aggression. Undeniable.Siraj's bowling attack bolstered an inexperienced team's morale throughout the England series. With Bumrah out and Shami absent, Siraj commanded India's pace unit.
