Mohammed Siraj has recently been on a roll with the white ball. With the wickets he has recently taken, he has shown what he is capable of.

In this article, we will look at the reasons why Mohammed Siraj should be part of India’s ODI World Cup team in 2023.
#1 Consistency

For a long time, the star pacer from Hyderabad has consistently delivered wickets for India. He has been very consistent in his performances, which has aided India in reaping huge rewards over the last year. He would want to keep that going in the upcoming matches as well.
Siraj has 31 wickets at a brilliant average of 21 in 20 One-Day International matches for India. In addition, he has also been very economical conceding runs at an economy rate of just under 4.75. He would look forward to more wickets in the future.
#2 Aggression

Siraj has repeatedly demonstrated that he is not afraid to confront anyone. While playing for Virat Kohli, the 28-year-old honed an important skill: giving it back to the opposition. He has shown flashes of his aggressive nature in Tests, and he can replicate that in ODIs as well.
While he has been aggressive with his bowling, he has not let that hamper his performances. He had never been carried away by his nature and has always made the most out of his aggression. In fact, he has always channelised his anger in the tight lengths he bowls.
#3 Great start for India in 2023

Mohammed Siraj has been a part of the Indian team’s first two series of 2023, against Sri Lanka and New Zealand. He has had great results in both of them. Siraj returned the figures of 4/32 in 10 overs against Sri Lanka in the 3rd match, his best bowling figures in ODI cricket.
He followed it up with another four-wicket haul in the opening game against New Zealand at his home ground. Gaining momentum at the start of the year becomes very useful for any cricketer. He would look forward to keeping that consistent throughout the year.
