Mohammed Siraj had eagerly awaited an Indian debut after some promising performances in the domestic circuit. When the chance did arrive, he had a pancake of a pitch to bowl on against some world-class hitters. The first delivery he sent down pretty much summed up his entire day. A short and wide delivery outside off-stump was bludgeoned through point by Colin Munro.

Siraj's day got worse as it progressed although he managed a rather big scalp, Kane Williamson, as his maiden wicket. The Sunrisers Hyderabad pace bowler failed to exert any kind of control on his debut and would want to forget this outing as quickly as possible.
