PUBLISHED:

Mohammed Siraj’s rise in world cricket in last few years has been a spectacle to behold! The man has grown by leaps and bounds in both white-ball and red-ball cricket and is a big asset for India across formats.

Siraj has replaced Shaheen Shah Afridi of Pakistan to become No 1 ODI bowler in ICC rankings 2023.

The World Cup 2023 is currently in its business end, and Indian players have dominated proceedings. Now, ahead of India’s final league game, Mohammed Siraj has been crowned the number one ODI bowler in the ICC rankings, a testimony to his consistent performances in the 50-over format.

Along with Siraj, Shubman Gill is also shining bright and is now the number 1 ODI batter in ICC rankings. In the World Cup 2023, Mohammed Siraj was slow to get off the blocks but got into his rhythm against Sri Lanka and bowled beautifully against South Africa too.

The man grabbed plenty of eyeballs when he picked a six-wicket haul against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final to dismantle Lankans for 50.
