31-year-old India National Cricket Team Right-Arm Pesar Mohammad Siraj has achieved a remarkable milestone in international cricket.
Mohammad Siraj has joined the Legends of India National Cricket Team at the 200 International Wickets Club with his performance in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Mohammad Siraj completed 200 international wickets
Siraj started his T20I match against New Zealand in Rajkot in November 2017 in November 2017. Since then, he has shone with a ball in all formats in international cricket.

The Right-Arm Quick received its ODI cap in January 2019 and a Test cap in December 2020. He quickly established himself as an all-format pacer for India and is currently considered to be the second best pacer, which is only behind Jasprit Bumrah.
Although he recently faced extinging in white-ball cricket despite doing well for the team, there is a lot of possibility that he could be seen in Blue Jersey soon.
Currently, he is involved in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 against England and has excluded his heart for India without worrying about his charge.
He is the only Indian bowler to play all five Test matches in the ongoing series, and only other bowlers who have also portrayed in all matches are Chris Woakes of England, who suffered a shoulder injury in 1 day and were rejected.
Mohammad Sirraj has taken time to find a rhythm, but overall, he has bowled quite well for visitors and is going to take India’s leading wickets in the current tour.
Sirj took 14 wickets in the first four matches and rejected the England Stand-in captain Oli Pope and chose his first wicket in the fifth Test at Kennington Oval.
On the fourth ball of the 25th over, Siraj delivered a sensational good-long delivery outside the pope outside the Pope, which returned back and hit the batter on the back pad.
The on-field umpire did not raise its finger, but the Indian team used a review, and Hawki returned with three raids, which led to the dismissal of England skipper for 22 runs.
By rejecting Oli Pope, Mohammad Siraj became the 15th Indian pacer to bag 200 or more international wickets. His first international wicket was Ken Williamson, the 50th Matthew Pots, the 100th Ashton, was 150th Ben Focke, and Oli Pope became his 200th skull.
