"Mohammed Siraj Is Up There At Top": Australia Pacer Heaps Praise On RCB Teammate

Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood heaped praise on his Indian Premier League (IPL) teammate Mohammad Siraj for his recent performances for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2023. This season Siraj was a completely different version of himself. His preciseness in the powerplay and exhibiting control over his line and length in the death was one of the most noticeable transformations he went through over the past year. As Hazlewood missed the majority of the IPL action due to an injury, Siraj did not let RCB feel his absence for a minute.

The 29-year-old was up to the mark competing in every single stat a bowler is eligible for.

"I was a bit late getting there (to RCB this year), but before then he was on fire," Hazlewood said as quoted by International Cricket Council (ICC). His control was great and he is bowling well."

"He is up there at the top of the wickets every time, and the economy rate was probably the thing as bowling at Chinnaswamy (RCB's home ground) is impossible sometimes and he was going at six or six-and-a-half an over," Hazlewood concluded.

Siraj will be in action against Australia in the upcoming World Test Championship 2023 final at the Oval, London from June 7.

Most of the Indian squad players arrived in the UK on Tuesday and they will be looking to grab hold of the opportunity and win the WTC Final. Last year, New Zealand defeated India in the final of the World Test Championship.

There are some players who could play a key role for the Indian team in their crucial match.

India's ace batter Virat Kohli will be the one to look out for, he has scored 8416 runs in 183 innings. His highest score 254 was against South Africa in 2019. He has scored 28 centuries and 28 half-centuries in Test format. His
