Mohammed Siraj, unlike the other two bowlers, has had the privilege of playing for India a few times, although just in T20Is. The 24-year-old, who plays for Hyderabad in the domestic circuit, has been a star performer for his team at the first-class level. He has rattled the stumps of some of the biggest names in Indian domestic cricket and impressed the selectors of the national side.

Siraj is just 22-matches-old at the first-class level but has already taken over 100 wickets. His average, that is 19.59, says a lot about the quality of this young pacer. He, unlike the other two, can bowl at over 140 kilometres per hour consistently. The right-armer has taken ten four-wicket hauls and four five-wicket hauls so far. He also has two ten-wicket matches to his name. These numbers, apart from having a great impression on the fans, have got everything in them to knock the selectors’ doors off their hinges.
