Siraj, who was inducted in the Indian side over an injured Mohammad Shami, has impressed one-and-all this summer by outperforming several seasoned bowlers across both sides. Eventually, an Indian fan made a comparison of Siraj’s performance with that of 61-Test veteran Mitchell Starc, only to draw a fitting response from the cricketer’s wife Alyssa Healy.
