This boy looked something different: MSK Prasad praises Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj has been a burning sensation in the fast lane of Indian cricket. From belting out searing toe-crushers to conjuring banana swing, that would leave the best stranded in the land of the unknown, RCB’s beloved Miyan has penned one of the most remarkable transitions that the world has ever seen.

From wrecking the formidable Australians Down Under to handing England a ballad of pain, Mohammed Siraj has been a man on a mission. He will be taking the field again for the Royal Challengers Bangalore as they start their campaign against the Punjab Kings.

From Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli, everyone has expressed their admiration for the hardworking Indian fast bowler as he has gone from strength to strength with every passing day. In the long list of accolades received by him in his raging career, the latest addition was India’s former chief selector, MSK Prasad’s flattering words for the rebellious Indian youngster.

Talking on ESPNCricinfo, Prasad said, “He had traveled across the globe. Usually, Indian pitches don't assist fast bowling so much, but this boy looked something different."

He further added, “Playing for India A and working with Paras Mhambrey, the bowling coach of the National Cricket Academy, Siraj learned the tricks of the trade".

A couple of months back, Sachin Tendulkar praised Siraj’s endless energy and touted him as someone special. Even though there has been a persistent struggle for the youngster to generate 142 plus clicks regularly, yet his bedazzling movement has left the batters befuddled.
