#AusvInd: Siraj shines in the final Test

Our Hyderabadi player Mohammed Siraj has claimed his first five wicket haul in the Test cricket and that too against the mighty Australians. The fourth Test between India and Australia has come to its conclusion with a day remaining.

Australia in their second innings were bowled out for 294 runs and Siraj scalped five wickets that includes the dangerous Steve Smith. This is a remarkable effort by Siraj and it was only his third Test that he achieved a first milestone as a bowler.

There was a time when team India replied a lot on spin bowling. But those days are gone and the current team India has an extraordinary fasting bowling unit. But the likes of Ishant, Bumrah, Shami and Umesh Yadav were injured and out of the series and so the bench that includes Siraj, Shardul Thakur, Navdeep Saini and T Natarajan got a chance in the fourth and final Test. Almost all the bowlers impressed and especially Siraj and Shardul.

Coming to the Test match, India has a target of 328 runs. The final session of day 4 was called off due to rain and so the play will start early on day 5. India has 324 runs to win this Test in 90 overs. Though it is achievable, Australian will be giving their best to restrict India.

In case if India wins, it will be a greatest victory in the history of Test cricket.
