Drafted in at the last moment after injuries and illness hit India’s pace unit, Mohammed Siraj made his return count with a match-settling spell of 3-29 at the Wankhede. Rejoining the T20I setup after 18 months, Siraj struck twice in the Powerplay to calm Indian nerves and remind everyone of his value at T20 World Cup 2026

Destiny has a funny way of throwing the best laid plans of men and mice out of kilter. Harshit Rana was just a couple of days away from making his (T20) World Cup debut and Mohammed Siraj was less than a week away from leaving for Spain to watch his beloved Real Madrid in action at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Fate intervened. Rana injured his knee during a practice game against South Africa last Wednesday. It was a bitter blow to the Delhi quick, who was in good wicket-taking form too.
