Siraj excited for South Africa Test series

As India gear up to face South Africa in a high-stake two-match Test series, starting on November 14 at Eden Gardens, Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj has expressed his excitement and resolve to make the most of the opportunity. Siraj will be leading India's pace attack alongside pacer Jasprit Bumrah in what is expected to be a highly crucial series for India. Speaking on JioStar ahead of the first Test, Siraj expressed his enthusiasm about performing in home conditions.
"This series is crucial for the new WTC cycle, especially since South Africa is the defending champion. While they drew 1-1 with Pakistan, we're confident from our own good form, we created a positive environment, performed well in England, and won against the West Indies," Siraj said on JioStar.
Siraj has been in tremendous form in the current WTC cycle, picking up 33 wickets in seven games.
"Personally, I'm bowling with good rhythm and looking to make the most of it. Facing strong teams helps identify areas to improve, and I'm really excited for this challenge," Siraj stated.
India are brimming with confidence heading into the 2025-27 cycle, having kicked off their campaign with a 2-2 draw against England. And recently they swept the two-match Test series against West Indies, winning both games with complete dominance.
