The legend of South Africa, Dale Steyn, has included Mohammed Siraj from Team India as one of the pacers to watch out for in the upcoming World Cup 2023, which is going to start in October.
Siraj has had an exceptional year in 2023, particularly in ODIs. He started the year in a lowly 137th position in the ODI bowling rankings but managed to climb to the top spot by the end of the year. This remarkable journey was marked by his outstanding performances in various matches, including the Asia Cup 2023.
Speaking to the ICC, Steyn picked Siraj on his list of pacers to watch out for and also said he would be a key player for India in the tournament.
Steyn said, "So my five fast bowlers to watch out for in this tournament are Mohammad Siraj from India. Swings the ball up front and knocks over big batters. Key player for India.
