India's Mohammed Siraj is more than the "Mr. Angry" moniker the England team has given him, according to former England captain Nasser Hussain, who also likened the pacer to the great Shane Warne. Siraj made his mark for India at the Oval, where on Monday, August 4, he helped the team win by a thrilling six runs with nine wickets and 5/104 in the second innings against England.

The Indian bowler bowled more than 185 overs in the five games he participated in and took 23 wickets during the series. Since Jasprit Bumrah only appeared in three games throughout the series, the 31-year-old took the lead of the Indian bowling attack.

Hussain, in his column for the Daily Mail, said that the pacer was the reason why India won both games.

"Of course, they ended up winning the two games that Bumrah didn't play, and the reason for that was because of one man, really - Mohammed Siraj," said Hussain in his column for the Daily Mail.

Siraj did have a few difficult moments, particularly when he misjudged a catch when Harry Brook was batting on 19 and when he was the last man out in the Lord's Test defeat.

Hussain likened it to the time Warne missed Kevin Pietersen's catch during the 2005 Ashes. But according to the former England captain, Siraj is fit and has a genuine desire to succeed. Hussain claimed that although Siraj is a natural entertainer with all the skills necessary to be successful at the highest level, he occasionally plays the pantomime villain, such as Warne.

"Siraj is a cricketer who always gives it everything. Yes, he plays the pantomime villain at times, a bit like Warney did, and so people love to hate him, but he regularly has that massive smile on his face too.

He's fiery, the England boys call him Mr. Angry, and he has the longest follow-through in the history of the game, but he demands your attention. You could do a montage of the histrionics - down on his knees in despair at Lord’s, the celebrations and dejection when DRS decisions go one way or another. He’s a born entertainer, but crucially he's got all the other attributes you need at the highest level: heart, passion, and ultimately skill," said Hussain.

Hussain claimed that Siraj played flawlessly throughout the series and that India would have lost if he had had a difficult time in England.

"If Siraj gets it wrong, India loses the series, so it was a perfect execution from a champion cricketer who has unfairly courted controversy over the past month," said Hussain.

Siraj was named the Player of the Match for his effort.
