'Special' Siraj Can Be A Really Big Name In International Cricket, Says VVS Laxman
India pace bowler Mohammed Siraj's ability to bowl long spells is being acknowledged by former India stars. After former captain Sunil Gavaskar praised him a day back, another former India batsman VVS Laxman termed him a 'dangerous bowler due to his ability to maintain speed, bounce and movement for long period'.
"Siraj is a very skillful bowler. For any fast bowler, there are two very important requirements. Firstly, he must have the ability to swing the ball deceptively. Siraj has this ability in abundance. Secondly, a fast bowler has to be able to bowl long spells. This ability too, Siraj has in him. He has tremendous stamina. He can come back for his third spell and bowl with just as much venom as he did in his first two spells," said Laxman while speaking to Hyderabad-based Siasat daily.
