England players have given Mohammed Siraj a funny nickname: “Mr. Angry”

India-England Series: According to former England captain Nasser Hussain, Ben Stokes’ team has dubbed Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj “Mr. Angry” because of his aggressive behavior on the field. Paying tribute to Siraj, Hussain described him as a “born entertainer” who has the passion and talent needed to succeed at this level.

Taking nine wickets, including a five-for while defending a target of 374, Siraj led India to victory in the Oval Test. Despite several unforgettable incidents, such as dropping Harry Brook when he was the new batsman and watching him score a century, he maintained his determination to deliver India’s closest win—by six runs—and greatest comeback. He was the highest wicket-taker in the series, which ended in a 2-2 draw, with 23 wickets at the end.

In his column for the Daily Mail, Hussain said, “He is forceful, the England players call him Mr. Angry, and he has the longest follow-through in the history of the game, but he holds your attention.” “An anthology of his theatrics could be made of him, including his kneeling in frustration at Lord’s, his celebrations and his dejected behavior when a DRS decision went either way.”

Apart from being a natural performer, he possessed all the qualities needed to succeed: heart, passion and most importantly, talent. As he did with Joe Root, he was a bowler who would bowl at his own pace and use a wobbly seam to get players out LBW. However, now his outswing has become so sharp that Shubman Gill was not interested in taking the second new ball,” he said.

Then there is also a brilliant yorker, like the one delivered to Crawley at the end of the third day. Knowing that Gus Atkinson was trying to hit him over midwicket for another six that would have changed the course of the match, he tried it once again just before noon and did so in extremely difficult conditions. “It was an impeccable performance from a champion cricketer who has courted unnecessary controversies over the last month, and if Siraj makes a mistake, India will lose the series,” Hussain said.

Even Root had earlier criticized Siraj for his “fake aggression.” The English batsman, in a light-hearted and appreciative manner, said that he understands Siraj’s antics while batting.

Nasser Hussain on the India-England series: “I will miss it.”

“Now that it is over, I will miss it,” said Hussain, summing up a busy final day of the series.

Now that it’s over, I will miss it a lot. This format has been so great that you wonder why it’s ever questioned. If you hired someone 30 days ago and showed them Test match venues in this country, you would have asked them if Test cricket was a viable sport. They would have looked at you weirdly. “It’s really great,” said Hussain.
