He made his debut in the longer format last year during the Australia tour. And, during that time, he had lost his father to a lung ailment, but he continued to be there with the Indian team. He did exceptionally well which helped India win the series 2-1 against the Aussies in their own den as well. Now, Siraj is now preparing for another overseas assignment –India’s tour to the UK as he has been included in the 20-member Indian squad for the upcoming inaugural ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand and then the five-match Test series against England as well.

The Australia tour gave me a lot of confidence and I am going to carry that same confidence to England as well. Virat bhaiya always says –‘You have the ability, the ability to play on any wicket and get rid of any batsman.” However, remembering the support he got from Virat Kohli when he lost his father was important for him as it was an extremely tough time for the pacer.

He (Virat) has supported me through thick and thin. He has always been there for me and in all circumstances. I still remember how I was crying in the hotel room. Virat bhaiya came into my room and hugged me tightly and said –‘I am with you, don’t worry.’ Those words encouraged me a lot.” Follow Cricadium Stats, Latest Cricket News, Live Cricket Score and Today Match Prediction Stay updated Indian cricket team with all the cricketing roster, records, history & action.
