India's right-arm speedster Mohammed Siraj delivered a dream spell in the New Year's Test of India's tour of South Africa. Even though it was the Proteas who won the toss and elected to bat first, Siraj gave them no time to settle in and was on the mark right from the word go, bowling testing line and lengths with metronomic accuracy. The Hyderabad pace sensation not only completed a fifer but had six wickets against his name inside nine overs as the home team was reeling at 45/7 in 17. 5 overs.
Given India's horror record at Cape Town and India's innings defeat in the series opener, Siraj's spell holds utmost significant as it has put India in an advantageous position on Day 1 of the second Test. Take a look at a few social media reactions following the 29-year-old bowler's outstanding spell of bowling.
