Mohammed Siraj displayed some fearless batting in the Test against Afghanistan. He came to bat in the lower order but gave a strong cameo to the team. Scoring 22 runs off just 12 balls, his strike rate has amazed the cricket fans to a great extent.

‌Test cricket is peaking again, as even the Indian bowlers have decided to show their strength with the bat. India was already much stronger against Afghanistan in the one off Test, as the team dominated the game with the bat. And now, they are doing well with the ball, taking wickets quickly. 
Several players smashed centuries and half-centuries, but the main limelight was given to someone else. And it was Mohammed Siraj, the primary bowler of the Indian team in this format. He came to bat in the lower order but still managed to score runs at a strike rate which even various batsmen found it challenging to get on the first day. 
Siraj alone went on to score 22 runs off just 12 balls, his strike rate going high at 183. It was an absolute best batting display, coming from a player no one expected. 
Here's how Twitter reacted to Siraj’s explosive cameo. 

Lowest Point 

Surely the lowest point for Mohammed Siraj is being compared with Sir Viv Richards. We should rename him as Sir Mohammed Siraj. 

Lucky Kallis

Jacques Kallis is being termed as the greatest all-rounder of all-time. But Kallis would be lucky that he was not born in the same generation as Mohammed Siraj. 

No Competition 

Mohammed Siraj has outscored the Test runs scored by Joe Root and Kane Williamson in their last test. Siraj scored 22, while Williamson and Root scored 9 and 18 respectively. Together they have managed to defeat Siraj by 5 runs.
