Mumbai. Indian pacemaker Mohammad Siraj said that the ball thrown at Ross Taylor would be a ‘dream’ ball for any bowler. Siraj played a key role in pitching New Zealand for 62 in the first inning on the second day of Test 2, picking up three first-order early wickets in his opening spell.

Regarding the ball that was thrown at Taylor, Siraj said: “The plan was to decorate the field for the inward ball and the goal was to hit the pads, but from the way he was getting into the rhythm, I thought why don’t throw the ball out. That worked. It was a drum ball for any fast bowler.
He was out of action during the first International T20 against New Zealand in Jaipur due to a ‘cobweb’ injury between his fingers. Senior pacemaker Ishant Sharma had a chance at the opening test in Kanpur.

The Hyderabad fast pitcher said: “When I started training after recovering from injury, I was throwing a lot, aiming for a wicket to get the maximum swing. That was my focus.”
Siraj threw a goalie of over 147 kmph to get Tom Latham out.
“So that every time I get a chance in a test match, I have to hit the same areas constantly and that’s what helped me find my momentum,” he said.
