So when Mohammed Siraj, the fiery fast bowler from Hyderabad, overtook a record long held by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, it wasn\u2019t merely a statistical footnote. It was a generational shift \u2014 a proud declaration that Indian fast bowling is now writing chapters that once belonged to batting royalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the high-octane 5th Test against England at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Siraj produced a fiery spell, clinching four crucial wickets. In doing so, he surpassed a staggering Test feat of Sachin Tendulkar \u2014 not in runs, but in overseas Test wickets for India. Siraj now has more overseas Test wickets in a single WTC cycle than Tendulkar managed in his illustrious 24-year career. Think about that: a humble fast bowler from a modest background stepping past the most celebrated cricketer in Indian history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/blogs\/mohammed-siraj-overtakes-sachin-tendulkar-tally-after-four-fer-in-5th-test-vs-england\/#The_Humble_Beginnings\" >The Humble Beginnings<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/blogs\/mohammed-siraj-overtakes-sachin-tendulkar-tally-after-four-fer-in-5th-test-vs-england\/#From_Grief_to_Glory\" >From Grief to Glory<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/blogs\/mohammed-siraj-overtakes-sachin-tendulkar-tally-after-four-fer-in-5th-test-vs-england\/#The_5th_Test_Masterclass\" >The 5th Test Masterclass<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/blogs\/mohammed-siraj-overtakes-sachin-tendulkar-tally-after-four-fer-in-5th-test-vs-england\/#The_Record_That_Stunned_Everyone\" >The Record That Stunned Everyone<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/blogs\/mohammed-siraj-overtakes-sachin-tendulkar-tally-after-four-fer-in-5th-test-vs-england\/#Siraj_The_Torchbearer_of_a_New_India\" >Siraj: The Torchbearer of a New India<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/blogs\/mohammed-siraj-overtakes-sachin-tendulkar-tally-after-four-fer-in-5th-test-vs-england\/#More_Than_Just_Cricket\" >More Than Just Cricket<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/blogs\/mohammed-siraj-overtakes-sachin-tendulkar-tally-after-four-fer-in-5th-test-vs-england\/#The_Road_Ahead\" >The Road Ahead<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Humble_Beginnings\"><\/span><strong>The Humble Beginnings<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in 1994, Mohammed Siraj\u2019s entry into cricket wasn\u2019t a well-funded dream. His father was an auto-rickshaw driver who ensured his son had enough money to buy a cricket ball. That wasn\u2019t always easy. There were days Siraj couldn\u2019t afford boots. But dreams, it turns out, don\u2019t check your bank account before coming true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/\"><strong>DiamondExch<\/strong><\/a> is a betting platform where you can bet on the results of sports events. You can support the winning team or the losing team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike most players who rise through structured academies, Siraj was raw, rough, and unorthodox. His natural ability to swing the ball late and generate bounce caught the eye of selectors during the domestic seasons. His breakthrough came during the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy, where he bagged 41 wickets in just 9 matches. Soon, he was picked up by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL and later made his international debut in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Grief_to_Glory\"><\/span><strong>From Grief to Glory<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes Siraj&#8217;s success even more inspiring is his resilience off the field. During India\u2019s 2020-21 tour of Australia, he lost his father. He chose to stay back with the team, fulfilling his father&#8217;s wish \u2014 to play for India and make the country proud. In a historic Test series where India fielded a second-string bowling attack due to injuries, Siraj emerged as the leader of the pace battery in the decisive Gabba Test. His 5-wicket haul led India to one of its greatest Test victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That tour was a turning point. It wasn&#8217;t just about Siraj making headlines \u2014 it was about him becoming a symbol of mental toughness, maturity, and unbreakable will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_5th_Test_Masterclass\"><\/span><strong>The 5th Test Masterclass<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now fast forward to the 5th Test against England in August 2025. India were already 3-1 up in the series, but the job wasn\u2019t done. England came out swinging, led by their aggressive Bazball philosophy. But Siraj had other plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His four-wicket haul wasn\u2019t just clinical \u2014 it was symbolic. He dismissed key players like Ben Duckett and Jonny Bairstow, ripping through the English middle-order with surgical precision. What made his spell special was not just the movement or pace, but the heart behind every delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each wicket was celebrated not with flamboyance but with raw emotion. He roared, he pounded his chest, and he looked skyward \u2014 remembering the father who once drove an auto to fuel his son\u2019s cricketing aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Record_That_Stunned_Everyone\"><\/span><strong>The Record That Stunned Everyone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that four-fer, Siraj reached <strong>65 overseas Test wickets<\/strong>, overtaking Sachin Tendulkar\u2019s tally of <strong>63<\/strong>. Now, one might argue that comparing a bowler and a batsman on wickets isn\u2019t fair \u2014 but the point is deeper. Siraj, in just a few years, has carved a place for himself in a cricketing structure that once favored spinners and idolized batters. He\u2019s part of the revolution that has made Indian pace attack one of the most feared in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/\"><strong>Diamond Exchange id<\/strong><\/a> is much better than traditional Betting sites. In fact, you can bet on any outcome as long as another player wants to bet against you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To surpass a Tendulkar stat, in any form, is monumental. It signifies a changing guard. From batting icons to fast-bowling legends \u2014 Indian cricket is evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Siraj_The_Torchbearer_of_a_New_India\"><\/span><strong>Siraj: The Torchbearer of a New India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mohammed Siraj represents the voice of a new generation \u2014 fearless, grounded, and emotionally charged. He doesn\u2019t shy away from confrontations. He wears his emotions on his sleeve. When he\u2019s on the field, he\u2019s not just bowling; he\u2019s expressing \u2014 joy, grief, gratitude, and fire \u2014 all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a cricketing culture that once hesitated to rely on pacers for match-winning spells, Siraj is now the go-to man. Be it Australian pitches, English overcast conditions, or the subcontinental flat decks \u2014 he has delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His impact is not just in the wickets column. He mentors younger bowlers. He learns from seniors like Bumrah and Shami. And he never stops evolving \u2014 adding variations, working on fitness, and developing cricketing acumen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Than_Just_Cricket\"><\/span><strong>More Than Just Cricket<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Off the field, Siraj has remained grounded. He often visits his old neighborhood in Hyderabad, inspiring kids who now see a realistic path to Indian cricket. He speaks in simple language, never letting fame get the better of him. His story has inspired not just aspiring cricketers, but every Indian who dares to dream beyond their circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Road_Ahead\"><\/span><strong>The Road Ahead<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 31, Siraj is in his prime. With the WTC Final and several high-profile Test series lined up, he\u2019s not just looking to break records \u2014 he\u2019s looking to build a legacy. A legacy that started in the narrow streets of Hyderabad, rose through personal tragedy, and is now being etched into Indian cricket\u2019s glorious history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As he walked off the field after his four-wicket haul, the applause from the Ahmedabad crowd wasn\u2019t just for his performance. It was for what he represents \u2014 <strong>the power of belief, the weight of hard work, and the beauty of humble beginnings turning into historic achievements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diamondexchh.com\/diamondexch99.html\"><strong>Diamondexch99<\/strong><\/a> operates in Indian currency with deposits starting at merely \u20b9100.

It\u2019s being redefined, one fast bowler at a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Siraj is right at the heart of that revolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the world of Indian cricket, milestones aren&#8217;t just numbers; they are testaments to passion, perseverance, and often, poetic justice.
