“Siraj was excellent,” Morkel said after the game on the fourth day in the final test in the oval. “He’s a natural leader – he doesn’t say much, but his actions drive the group. I am really pleased to receive recognition. Whether it is another magic or lifting the crowd when things get flat, gives the team that sparks.”

Morkel also revealed that Siraj insisted on playing the fifth test despite the big workload: “He just said:” I want to play this match, I want to win it for the team. “This is the kind of attitude that wins the tests. ”
In the ongoing final test Siraj again released from all over the heart. The task of defense target 374 bowed with intensity and discipline and maintained English dough under control. While his return of two goals may seem modest, his presence was central to Indian witches.
It is remarkable that Siraj bowed more than 180 overs across nine shifts in the series – a rare working load at a time when rest and rotation are closely managed. His determination to present in all five tests is evidence of his resistance and determination to the team.
In the England of second shifts in the oval, Siraj has already bowed 26 overs – most of the Indian pitch in shifts. Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna sent 20 and 22 exceeded. On stumps on 4th day, England was 339 for 6He only needed 35 other runs to ensure the victory of the 3-1 series. Jamie Smith (2*) and Jamie Overton (0*) will continue persecution on Monday morning, while India requires four goals – potentially only three, if Chris Woakes, nursing shoulder injuries, bat – equals a series of 2-2.

At a time when the “labor busy management” became the central point of a modern cricket, its ability to compete with five consecutive tests underlines its elite condition and mental toughness.
For Morkel and the Indian camp, Siraj’s contributions are exceeded for statistics. “I’m excited to get credit,” Morkel said. “He plays for the badge and this kind of commitment drives the rest of the team forward.”
