Mohammad Siraj soars up 12 spots in ICC test rankings in ICC test rankings after England heroics
In a sensational turnaround, India’s pace spearhead Mohammad Siraj has surged to No.15 in ICC Men’s test bowling rankings, climbing an impressive 12 places off the back of his stellar performance against England.
Siraj emerged as the standout bowler in India’s dramatic six run win at The Oval, finishing the series with 23 wickets including a pivotal five-wicket haul in the final Test, which earned him the Player of the Match award. His consistency and leadership helped India draw the five-match series 2‑2 and firmly established him as a genuine match-winner.
This is Siraj’s highest career ranking in test bowling. He joined an elite group of Indian bowlers in the ICC’s top 15, stepping out of the shadows of senior names like Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin.
Siraj’s rise reflects more than just numbers. It reflects his cricketing journey, from humble beginnings in Hyderabad to becoming India’s frontline Seamer. Known affectionately as “Miyan Magic,” Siraj’s newfound confidence and rhythm have made him a reliable force in India’s bowling arsenal.
With India gearing up for 2025 – 2027 world test championship cycle, Siraj’s experiance and form make him an integral part of the squad’s pace attack, especially ahead of high-stakes contests such as Border Gavaskar Trophy or series against South-Africa.
