mohammed siraj news

<p>Mohammed Siraj has risen from the ranks. He is one of the players who has traveled from the maidans to the cricket grounds. From once bowling with the ?chappals? in the ?Maidans? of Hyderabad to becoming India?s strike bowler in the powerplay, Mohammed Siraj has done it all.</p>



<p>He will be playing his maiden ODI at his home ground in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The game will be played <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/qualification-scenario-of-india-for-the-wtc-2023-25-final-after-the-historic-test-series-lost-against-new-zealand/" title="against New Zealand" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">against New Zealand</a>, the very team against whom he made his T20I debut. Here is an in-depth look:?</p>



<h2>Rohit Sharma Showers Praise on Mohammed Siraj:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>In the pre-match press conference on the eve of the India VS New Zealand ODI series, Rohit Sharma showered a lot of praise on ?Miyan Magic?. He said that his services need to be valued and he is an integral part of the plan for the ODI World Cup 2023. He also said that Siraj is one of the most improved bowlers. </p>



<p>This is what he had to say, ?Over the last couple of years, we?ve seen how well Siraj has fared across all three formats. He has improved his bowling; his line and length have improved. He has especially worked on his outswing. Earlier, he wasn?t that renowned for swing, but he has shown his ability to swing with the new ball over the last series.&nbsp; ?.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/placeholders/2025/12/post-101229-800x450-mohammed-siraj-is-a-rare-talent-rohit-sharma-showe.jpg" alt="Mohammed Siraj" class="wp-image-101231" width="810"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">India's Gabba Hero, Mohammed Siraj! IMG SRC: Scroll</figcaption></figure>



<p>Further, he added, ?It isn?t an easy task for any batsman to face the new ball. Siraj has started understanding his bowling and what the team wants from him. Overall, he has become a very good bowler for the team, one who can take wickets with the new ball and in the middle overs. He has also improved his death bowling with the IPL?.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Team India Looking For a Bowler in the Powerplay:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Jasprit-Bumrah-min-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-101232"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bumrah and Siraj will be a lethal combo in the powerplay. IMG SRC: BCCI.</figcaption></figure>



<p>The biggest issue for <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/javed-miandad-fires-a-warning-to-the-indian-cricket-team-following-their-refusal-to-travel-to-pakistan-for-the-champions-trophy/" title="the Indian Cricket team" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">the Indian Cricket team</a> in the recent past is that it has failed to take wickets in the powerplay overs. Earlier the likes of Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra used to get the job done. But today only Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one bowler who gives us such services. But with the kind of promise that Siraj has shown, we can certainly groom him for that role. Deepak Chahar is one such bowler. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Mohammed Siraj?s Workload to Be Managed:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Mohammed Siraj is an integral part of the scheme of things for the ODI World Cup 2023 and hence his workload is expected to be a little managed. He is also expected to say fit for all 4 test matches against Australia a home. This is what Rohit Sharma had to say about it, ?We have to keep in mind that we manage him well, and keep him fresh till the World Cup and for the four Tests against Australia?.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

Mohammed Siraj is a ?Rare Talent?, Rohit Sharma Showers Praise On Young Pacer After He Impresses in ODI Series Against Sri Lanka 2023.

mohammed-siraj-is-a-rare-talent-rohit-sharma-showers-praise-on-young-pacer-after-he-impresses-in-odi-series-against-sri-lanka-2023

<p>Mohammed Siraj, India?s pacer, has risen to new heights in his career. He is currently ranked number one in the world in the ODI format. Siraj has 729 points and is in first place, two points ahead of second-placed Josh Hazlewood. No other Indian bowler is ranked within the top 10. Siraj has come from a very humble background, and now, based on his abilities, he is ruling the world. Here is a look at the best moments in his career:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Mohammed Siraj: From the Streets of Hyderabad to Being Ranked Number 1:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/placeholders/2025/12/post-102698-800x450-mohammed-siraj-the-rise-of-world-number-1-pacer-fr.jpg" alt="Mohammed Siraj" class="wp-image-101230"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Siraj has had his own journey from 2019 IPL to 2023 IPL! IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Siraj was picked by SRH back in 2015, in the TATA IPL Auction. Bharat Arun, a former Indian bowling coach had scouted Siraj from one of the training camps in Hyderabad. While looking for pacers for the Hyderabad State team <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/citing-security-reasons-india-denies-travelling-to-pakistan-for-the-upcoming-champions-trophy-matches-are-to-be-shifted-to-dubai/" title="for the upcoming" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">for the upcoming</a> Ranji season, he saw this young man with unreal pace and good a good seam position. Mohammed Siraj was a tear-away pacer. His abilities impressed Bharat Arun. RCB intended to pick Siraj in 2016 but it was SRH who bagged him. Siraj was picked for 2.6 Crore Indian Rupees. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Debut Against New Zealand in 2017:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Siraj Made his T20I debut against New Zealand in 2017. But Mohammed Siraj was taken to the cleaners and was struggling big time. The New Zealand batters hit Siraj all over the park. There were a few shortcomings in his game and that was visible. Siraj was sacked. He went back and put in more hard work. Next time, he was picked for the test matches in Australia in the 2019-2020 historic Border Gavaskar Test Series. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>2020, Turning Point of Mohammed Siraj?s Career:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>2020, was the year that changed ?Miyan Magic?s? life. He had a dreadful 2019 IPL season. Andre Russell battered all the RCB bowlers in a game and Siraj was also a part of it. In fact, the ball slipped twice from his hand and he wasn?t allowed to bowl at all. Post this, there was a nig social media outrage against Siraj. The memes and trolls started to flood in. People even said, ?Apne bap ke saath jake auto chala?(Stop playing cricket and drive an auto-rickshaw with your father.) &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/placeholders/2025/12/post-102698-800x450-mohammed-siraj-the-rise-of-world-number-1-pacer-fr.jpg" alt="Mohammed Siraj" class="wp-image-101231" width="710"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Scroll</figcaption></figure>



<p>But the year 2020 defined his life. He was performing exceptionally well in the India A tours. Hence, he was picked <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/if-i-had-my-way-the-pitches-would-be-pat-cummins-drawing-up-for-the-border-gavaskar-trophy-2024-25/" title="for the Border Gavaskar" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">for the Border Gavaskar</a> Trophy 2020. Mohammed Siraj got his cap along with Shubman Gill in the second game at Melbourne. Siraj, at this moment, was going through a lot of emotions, he had lost his father back home due to an illness. But due to Covid-19 and as his father?s wish, Siraj chose to stay back and win the game for the nation. He bagged 13 wickets in that Border Gavaskar Trophy and was India?s hero in the historic Gabba test. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>?Virat Bhai?, as he calls him, is Mohammed Siraj?s godfather in the game of cricket. Virat has been continuously backing him. Even if Siraj has had the worst days on the field, Virat has supported him. One can easily see that Siraj has imbibed Virat Kohli?s aggression in his nature as well. ?Virat Bhai is my Hero!? he said in an interview. &nbsp;</p>



<p>?Arrey mai toh maidan mai chapla mai khelta tha, wha se yaha takk agaye. Ammi kehti thi, kuch paisa nahi hai ye khela mai, mai bolta tha itna paisa hoinga na ki ghar mai jaga kam pad jayega.? (I used to play in the maidans of Hyderabad in slippers. My mom used to say, there is no money in sports, and I used to reply, there will be so much money in the future, that our home won?t have enough space for it!?), Siraj shared while speaking to Danish Sait, the RCB insider. &nbsp;</p>

This cricketing extravaganza promises not only a clash of nations but also a battle of individual brilliance. Among the stellar lineup of players, the spotlight shines brightly on two exceptional cricketers ? Mohammed Siraj and Rashid Khan. In this article, we embark on a journey to compare and contrast their ODI rankings and performances, evaluating their potential impact on the upcoming World Cup.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC World Cup 2023: Mohammed Siraj vs. Rashid Khan's</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Mohammed Siraj: The Emerging ODI Star:</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Mohammed-Siraj_11zon-1024x576.jpg" alt="Mohammed Siraj" class="wp-image-105305"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mohammed Siraj | Image Source @HindustanTimes</figcaption></figure>



<p>From humble beginnings to the international arena, Mohammed Siraj's ascent <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ind-vs-nz-kane-williamson-was-ruled-out-of-the-third-test-while-the-uncapped-pacer-has-been-drafted-into-indias-squad-for-the-third-wankhede-test/" title="has been" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">has been</a> nothing short of inspiring. His trajectory in the ODI format has garnered attention, holding significant promise. With an ODI bowling ranking of 11th as of July 2023, Siraj's adaptability and skill in the limited-overs format are evident.</p>



<p>His highest ODI bowling ranking of 11th in July 2023 underlines his ability to perform under pressure. He has demonstrated an uncanny knack for taking crucial wickets at pivotal moments, solidifying his position as a vital component in India's ODI setup. With his consistent performances, Siraj is poised to play a pivotal role in bolstering India's bowling attack during the World Cup.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Rashid Khan: Afghanistan's ODI Dynamo:</strong></h3>

<p>From the rugged terrains of Afghanistan emerges Rashid Khan, a cricketing sensation whose impact spans formats. His mastery over spin bowling has captured the imagination of cricket enthusiasts, and his ODI performances are nothing short of remarkable. With an ODI bowling ranking of 4th as of July 2023, Rashid's prowess with the white ball is undeniable.</p>



<p>However, Rashid's influence isn't limited to his bowling alone. Holding the 4th spot in the ODI all-rounder rankings, he adds a dynamic dimension to Afghanistan's cricketing arsenal. His ability to contribute effectively with both bat and ball makes him a formidable asset, augmenting his team's chances in the World Cup.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The ODI Rankings Showdown:</strong></h3>



<p>As the ICC World Cup 2023 looms large, the significance of ODI rankings cannot be overlooked. The following table encapsulates the critical ODI statistics that could define their performances in the tournament:</p>

ICC World Cup 2023: Mohammed Siraj vs. Rashid Khan's ODI Rankings and Performance

icc-world-cup-2023-mohammed-siraj-vs-rashid-khans-odi-rankings-and-performance

<p>The Indian Cricket Team successfully defeated England by a strong margin of 4-1 in the five-match T20 International series at home and now both teams are gearing up to take on each other in a three-match One Day International Series. This series is going to act as a preparatory ground for both teams ahead of Champions Trophy 2025.</p>
<p>However, things are not looking good for the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/how-much-money-will-rohit-sharma-and-virat-kohli-earn-in-each-vijay-hazare-trophy-2025-26-game-/" title="Rohit Sharma" class="auto-internal-link" data-auto-link="1" data-link-type="suggestion" data-rule-id="0">Rohit Sharma</a>-led outfit as they have been handed a huge blow ahead of the ODI series versus the Three Lions as ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the entire series since he has failed to recover on time from the injury he suffered versus Australia in the Sydney Test-Match. </p>
<p>In his place, Varun Chakaravarthy has been drafted into the squad for the three-match series. Following the conclusion of this ODI series, the Men in Blue will go to Dubai in order to take part in the 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy from the 20th of February. In such a situation, Bumrah's unavailability due to injury is a huge blow to the Rohit Sharma-led outfit's ambition of sweeping the ODI series versus England and lift the Champions Trophy for the first time since 2013.</p>
<p>If the 31-year-old pacer fails to recover on time, then he will surely miss the Champions Trophy and the question which arises here is that if the Mumbai Indians pacer is set to miss the Marquee ICC event of this year, then who will take his place in the team? Let us tell you that four players can be considered for the role of replacing him. We will be taking a look at those four players in this article. </p>
<h2><strong>4. Avesh Khan</strong></h2>
<h2><a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/avesh-khan-694211/photos" title="Avesh Khan of Rajasthan Royals celebrates picking up a wicket | Image: Getty Images"><strong><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/placeholders/2025/12/post-150797-800x450-4-players-who-can-replace-the-injured-jasprit-bumr.jpg" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></strong></a></h2>
<p>28-year-old Avesh Khan can be considered as an option to take the place of Jasprit Bumrah in the Champions Trophy. He is a tall fast bowler who knows how to bowl with good pace and he is known to hit the deck hard with his short-pitched deliveries. Avesh also took part in all of the three ODI matches versus South Africa in 2023 and his pace and bounce can create a lot of issues for opposition batters in Champions Trophy 2025.</p>
<p>He has nine wickets to his name in eight One-Day Internationals and he ended that series as the 2nd highest wicket-taker behind Arshdeep Singh with six scalps to his name. </p>
<p>All in all, the skillset of the 28-year-old and his experience of bowling well versus top International players in the IPL make him a strong contender to replace Jasprit Bumrah in Team India's Champions Trophy squad.</p>
<h2><strong>3. Khaleel Ahmed</strong></h2>
<p>Left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed is another player who might be considered to take the place of Jasprit Bumrah in Team India's Champions Trophy squad. Yes, he might not be a popular choice but certainly, he can do the job if given the chance. </p>
<p>He was a part of the Indian Team as a reserve player for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies. He was included in the team after performing in a brilliant manner with the ball for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2024.</p>
<p>He helped them get early wickets in the powerplay overs and was also impressive in the death overs. The 27-year-old has always been considered by the Indian management for the limited-overs formats and he has taken part in 18 T20 International games and 11 One-Day International contests for the Men in Blue. </p>
<p>Talking about his stats in both formats, he has dismissed 16 batters in the shortest format of the game at an average of 35.13 and an okayish economy rate of 8.52. In terms of ODI's, the 27-year-old has 15 scalps to his name in 11 encounters at a decent average of 31 and a good economy rate of 5.81.</p>
<p>Khaleel is one of the few left-arm seamers to have been developed by the Indian coaching team to become the next big thing and if the 27-year-old finds a way to become a little more consistent and improve his economy rate, then there's no stopping him from replacing Bumrah in Champions Trophy.</p>
<h2><strong>2. Mukesh Kumar</strong></h2>
<p><strong><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a38f48c0d90.jpg" alt="" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p>Right-arm fast bowler Mukesh Kumar, hailing from the Gopalganj town of Bihar, can be considered a genuine contender to fill the void left by Bumrah if he misses the Champions Trophy. </p>
<p>He has the ability to do wonders in the whiteball format. He knows how to catch the batters off guard with his swinging deliveries in the powerplay overs, he knows to outsmart the opposition batters with the old ball, and his accurate yorkers and slower deliveries have the potential to make the best batters stay quiet. </p>
<p>He played a key role in helping Team India win the home T20 International series versus Australia in 2023 and his impressive death bowling performance was appreciated by the duo of Marcus Stoinis and Tim David. </p>
<p>He has experience of playing in 50 first-class matches and apart from this, he has also participated in six One-Day International games. This bowler is slowly and gradually increasing his experience. </p>
<p>The 31-year-old has natural talent by his side and he is well known for executing inch-perfect slower yorker deliveries in the death overs. We have seen him play for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL. Taking all of these things into consideration, this player can genuinely be considered a strong contender to replace Bumrah</p>
<h2><strong>1. Mohammed Siraj</strong></h2>

<p>DSP Siraj aka Mohammed Siraj from Hyderabad is rightfully considered the the main contender to replace Jasprit Bumrah in the Champions Trophy if he misses the tournament due to injury. </p>
<p>Siraj played a key role in helping Team India win the Asia Cup in 2023 and reach the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup but when he was omitted from the Champions Trophy squad, that decision shocked all the cricket fans and experts across the world. </p>
<p>The 30-year-old is one of Team India's most dependable pacers across all formats and when we talk about his numbers in ODI Cricket, we get to know that he had 71 scalps to his name in 44 matches. These stats are not normal and it just go on to show how good the 30-year-old is in One Day Cricket. </p>
<p>If Bumrah misses the mega ICC event of this year due to injury, then Siraj should definitely be called up to fill his big shoes in the team. The world is surely not ready for the comeback of a wounded Lion, Mohammed Siraj ;).</p>
