Mohammed Siraj is one of the India's finest bowlers currently and his ability to deliver with both the new ball and at the death is a big asset. At M.Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru against the Netherlands, Siraj once again showed his class in the opening over by drawing first blood for India with a classical outswinger.

However, he did go for some runs after the first wicket-maiden over as the flat deck at M. Chinnaswamy provided little help. However, it was the blow that Siraj got on his throat in the 15th over that will be a bit of concern for India as the man looked in lot of pain and walked off the field after settling himself near the boundary ropes for sometime.

Actually, it was a straightforward drop catch that led to Siraj getting hit on his throat. Kuldeep Yadav bowled a nice tossed up delivery on middle and Max O'Dowd made some room to tonk it down the ground. However, he did not time it properly and the ball went high in the air left of long on. Siraj settled it and had it covered but somehow the ball did not stick in his hands and ended up hitting him on the throat.

Siraj though badly hit, is expected to be fit and fine and would be hoping to display his world-class skills whenever he gets his hand on that white shining ball in this World Cup campaign again.
