South Africa vs India, 2nd Test: In the second Test match between India and South Africa, the South African team batting first was bowled out for just 55 runs. Siraj, who impressed with his fiery bowling on behalf of India, took 6 wickets and created a record. South African captain Dean Elgar, playing his last Test match, won the toss and elected to bat first. But, while the team score was just 5 runs, Adam Markram was dismissed for two runs.
Captain Dean Elgar also reached the pavilion with four runs. Then the team’s score was just eight runs. These two starters were scapegoated by Mohammad Siraj. Jasprit Bumrah shocked South Africa by dismissing Tristan Stubbs for three runs for the third wicket.
Siraj picked up Tony D’Jorji’s wicket to claim his third wicket. He bowled nine consecutive overs from one end and took six wickets. During this time he gave only 15 runs.
David Bedingham and Siraj fell for 12 runs in the 4th wicket and Kyle Verrenne took the pavilion for 15 runs in the 5th wicket. Marco Johnson, who came next, fell to Siraj without opening his account. This is the third time that Mohammad Siraj has taken 5 wickets in a Test innings. Earlier he had taken only five wickets. This time he took six consecutive wickets. This was Siraj’s best performance in his short Test career.
Earlier in 2021, Siraj took five wickets for 73 runs against Australia in Brisbane. In the same year i.e. 2023, he took 5 wickets for 60 runs against the West Indies.
