Mohammed Siraj leaked runs early before coming back with a stellar run that put the initial brakes on Pakistan in the World Cup match at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Saturday.
He got the first breakthrough (Abdullah Shafique) and then returned to castle a well-set Babar Azam.
From that moment, the game tilted towards India and understandably while striding into the media conference hall, Siraj (two for 50) was all smiles.
