Mohammed Siraj made history at the Narendra Modi Stadium, dismantling West Indies with a fiery four-wicket haul. Building on his stellar England series, Siraj removed Chanderpaul, Athanaze, King, and Chase, leaving West Indies at 105-6. With 31 wickets in 7 matches, he surpassed Mitchell Starc to become the highest Test wicket-taker in 2025 among WTC teams. Siraj also leads the ongoing WTC 2025–2027 cycle with 27 wickets, including two four-wicket hauls and two fifers. Dropped from the Asia Cup squad, his resurgence makes him a strong contender to lead India’s pace attack in the upcoming Australia tour, especially if Jasprit Bumrah is rested. Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav also contributed with one wicket each.
