Mohammed Siraj was unable to deliver a good performance in the Test series opener, but in the second Test, while leading the pace attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, the pacer bowled his heart out and helped India win.

Then, in the third Test match, Siraj showcased a good fight with the bat on the last day at Lord's, but got out in the most bizarre manner as the ball rolled onto the stumps with India being bowled out.

In the fourth Test match, Mohammed Siraj again looked dull, but he saved his best for the last, as in the fifth game, he bagged nine wickets and bowled exceptionally well to help India win by 6 runs.

Overall, the right-arm quick finished as the leading wicket-taker in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 with 23 wickets in 9 innings at an average of 32.43.

He’s fiery, the England boys call him Mr. Angry - Nasser Hussain

Former England captain Nasser Hussain revealed that the English players call Mohammed Siraj, Mr. Angry, and hailed him as a ‘born entertainer’.

"He’s fiery, the England boys call him Mr. Angry, and he has the longest follow-through in the history of the game, but he demands your attention," Hussain wrote in his column for The Daily Mail.

“You could do a montage of the histrionics – down on his knees in despair at Lord’s, the celebrations and dejection when DRS decisions go one way or another."

“He’s a born entertainer, but crucially he’s got all the other attributes you need at the highest level: heart, passion, and ultimately skill. He’s gone from being a hit-the-deck bowler using wobble seam to trap people LBW – as he did with Joe Root – to one who has developed outswing so big that Shubman Gill wasn’t interested in taking the second new ball," he added.

If Siraj gets it wrong, India lose the series - Nasser Hussain

Nasser Hussain further said that Mohammed Siraj is a highly skilled pacer with a great amount of passion and praised his deadly yorker to Gus Atkinson that bowled England out at the Kennington Oval in London on Day 5.

“Then, there is the fabulous yorker, such as the one to Crawley late on day three. He went to it again just before midday, knowing that Gus Atkinson was trying to hit him over midwicket for a second six that would have tied the game, nailing it under the most immense pressure. If Siraj gets it wrong, India lose the series, so it was perfect execution from a champion cricketer that has unfairly courted controversy over the past month," Hussain said.

"Now it’s finished, I will miss it. So incredible has it been that it makes you wonder why this format is ever questioned? If you landed someone 30 days ago and took them around this country’s Test match venues, asking them: Is this thing we call Test cricket working? They’d look at you funny. It’s so bloody good," Hussain added.
