Mohammed Siraj<\/strong>: Team India speedster Mohammed Siraj gave a classy response to former South African speedster Dale Steyn coming true about his five-wicket haul. It came in the fifth Test against England at the Kia Oval Cricket Ground in London on Monday. The 31-year-old responded to the legendary bowler’s statement on X that Steyn asked for it, and he was happy to deliver it on the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hyderabad-born cricketer was phenomenal over the series but more so in the fifth Test. He helped Team India stage a remarkable comeback to eke out a six-run win over England to level the series 3-1. The right-arm speedster took nine wickets in the Test, including a fifer in the second innings as the tourists registered a win for the ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day before the fifth Test, Steyn had tweeted on X:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

“Siraj to take a fifer in 5th Test.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After completing a five-wicket haul on Day 5 at The Oval, the 31-year-old wrote in reply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“You asked. I delivered. Really appreciate coming from you.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You asked. I delivered.

Really appreciate coming from you \u2764\ufe0f https:\/\/t.co\/aUcPV0lUPy<\/a><\/p>— Mohammed Siraj (@mdsirajofficial) August 4, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

The star bowler proved to be the only Indian paceman to play all five Tests in the series. He sent down a staggering 185.3 overs, yielding 23 wickets, and becoming the leading wicket-taker of the rubber. The wicket of\u00a0Gus Atkinson,<\/a> flattening the right-hander’s off-stump, sealed the deal for the tourists. He also deservedly earned the Player of the Match award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brendon McCullum heaps praise on Mohammed Siraj<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Following the narrow six-run defeat, England’s head coach\u00a0Brendon McCullum<\/a>\u00a0reflected that he was disappointed. However, he suggested that Siraj deserved every bit of what he got. McCullum had said, as quoted by\u00a0India Today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“It was a cracking series to be a part of, and when Siraj took that final wicket, as much as I was disappointed, I had admiration for him and the fight he has got as a cricketer and the way he was able to do what he did. I think 2-2 was a fair reflection.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Shubman Gill <\/a>and\u00a0Harry Brook\u00a0won the Player of the Series awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
