The World Cup is moving forward with all glory. India is in a great form. They are winning back-to-back matches. They are the only unbeaten team in the tournament. All the players are in great form. As a result of this, Shubhman Gill became the no. 1 ODI batter in the ICC rankings. Mohammad Siraj became the no. 1 ODI bowler in the ICC rankings. He shared his thoughts on that.
Siraj’s Words on being No.1 Bowler in ODI:
As the World Cup is going on, the rankings have gone through huge changes. This is the biggest tournament of cricket. All teams and the players are giving their best to be the best. Their performance affected the rankings. India is conquering here also. No 1 batter or bowler in the ODI format is from India. Mohammad Siraj has become the number 1 ODI bowler in the ICC rankings.
After being the No. 1, Siraj opened up about his thoughts. He said, “Number 1 ranking doesn’t matter for me, my goal is to win the World Cup.” Siraj dethroned Pakistan’s star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi from the number 1 rank and became the new topper of the list.
Siraj’s Performance in the World Cup:
Mohammed Siraj is the star pacer of India. In the Asia Cup final, he showed his excellence against Sri Lanka. He took 6 wickets in 21 runs and secured India’s win. His form was at the peak from that time. He continued his form even in the Word Cup. In the World Cup match against Sri Lanka, he fired up again. He took 3 wickets in 16 runs. In this match, he picked up Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama. That spell helped India to win the match.
He is taking wickets in every match. Against New Zealand, he took 1 wicket in 45 runs. Against Bangladesh, he got 2 wickets. He is in excellent form. One group stage match is left for India, then they will be playing in the semifinals. That is going to be a very crucial stage. India still has not faced any defeat. Fans are excited. This time the tournament is happening in India. Fans are hoping for the best.
