Former Indian captain revealed the secret of Mohammed Siraj's success, told how he built such a strong body

After the success in the India vs. England Test series, Mohammed Siraj has become a hot topic across the country. Indian fast bowler Siraj was the top wicket-taker in the 5-Test series. He also bowled the most overs and was one of only two fast bowlers to play in all the matches. Siraj played a key role in India's win by taking a five-wicket haul in the final Test. Additionally, he played an important part in leveling the series at 2-2. Former Indian captain Mohammed Azharuddin revealed the secret behind Siraj's strong body and success.

The performance of the Indian fast bowlers may have been underwhelming during the England tour, but Mohammed Siraj excelled in all five Test matches. Jasprit Bumrah played only three Tests, while Akashdeep and Arshdeep Singh also missed some time. Prasidh Krishna and Anshul Kamboj also didn’t show anything extraordinary. In contrast, Siraj embraced the pressure and delivered some of his best Test performances.

Former Indian captain Mohammed Azharuddin praised Mohammed Siraj. Since Siraj is from the same state as Azhar, the former captain believes that eating red meat helped him recover. Azhar told Mid-Day that Siraj was outstanding. He built a strong body, especially his legs, thanks to Nalli Gosht Biryani and Paya (his favorite food). He exhibited lots of enthusiasm and energy. Throughout the series, he seemed eager to perform well for India.
