Mohammed Siraj enjoys his break after Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, pacer posts candid photos with stunning car
The 31-year-old took to X on Saturday and shared some photos of himself having a nice time, as he posed next to one of his cars, a Range Rover.
Here are the photos:
He captioned the photos as, 'Grateful for the smiles and ride'.
Siraj was the highest wicket-taker in the five-match Test series in England, taking 23 wickets in five fixtures. It is the highest tally for the pacer in a Test series in his career. He equalled Jasprit Bumrah for the record of taking the most wickets (23) for India in a Test series.
Meanwhile, Siraj has also now taken four or more dismissals in an innings for India in England for the seventh time. He bowled 185.3 overs during the series, which is the most by him in a Test series in his career. In total, he bowled 1113 balls during the series.
Speaking after the final Test vs England, he said, 'To be honest, it feels amazing. From Day 1 everyone fought hard and the result is there to see. Very happy. The plan was to keep it simple and hit a consistent spot. Not try too much and if I can get wickets from there it's a bonus and build pressure. When I woke up today I had the belief that I could do it, I had the belief system. I took a photo from Google which read I can do it and put it as my wallpaper. If I had taken that (Brook) catch properly probably we may not have had to come today.'
'It was a game-changing moment. But Brook played really well, hats off to him for playing attacking cricket. It was a heart-breaking moment (The Lord's loss). He (Jadeja) was just telling me to play with a straight bat and middle the ball. He told me to remember my Father and the hardwork he put in to get me here,' he added.

Bumrah available for Asia Cup 2025 selection: Reports
Amidst speculation and concerns about his workload, India's pace ace Jasprit Bumrah has reportedly made himself available for the upcoming Asia Cup, which begins from September 9 in the United Arab Emirates. Bumrah featured in just three of the five Tests against England during the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series to manage his workload, but was still India's most effective bowler with 14 wickets at an average of 26.00. The 31-year-old has been used sparingly by India, particularly in white-ball cricket, and his last international appearance in the shortest format was the T20 World Cup final against South Africa in June last year. He also hasn't featured in One-Day International cricket since India's World Cup final defeat to Australia in November 2023. Bumrah was ruled out of this year's Champions Trophy due to a lower-back injury, which he sustained while bowling in the fifth Test against Australia at Sydney in January. The senior selection committee, helmed by former India fast bowler Ajit Agarkar, is expected to meet in Mumbai on Tuesday to pick India's 15-member squad for the Asia Cup, which will be played in the T20 format this time around.

Suryakumar Yadav (c) – India's T20 batting mainstay and captain, Suryakumar's explosive strokeplay makes him the team's biggest weapon.

Rinku Singh – Despite some doubts over his place, the left-hander's finishing ability should ensure his inclusion in the squad. Sanju Samson – The first-choice wicketkeeper, Samson's experience and recent form make him a key figure in India's batting line-up.

Hardik Pandya – India's premier all-rounder, Hardik provides balance with his explosive batting and seam-bowling options. Axar Patel – With his left-arm spin and handy lower-order batting, Axar is a dependable option in Indian conditions and beyond. Kuldeep Yadav – Adds depth with his leg-spin, giving India strength in the slow UAE tracks Shivam Dube – In red-hot form as a big-hitting all-rounder, Dube is the frontrunner for the additional pace-bowling all-rounder slot.

Arshdeep Singh – The left-arm quick has become a dependable death-over specialist, making him a certain pick.

Gautam Gambhir sets sights on rebranding India's T20 team ahead of Asia Cup: Report
India head coach Gautam Gambhir will shift his focus to the T20 format ahead of the Asia Cup 2025. Gambhir reportedly wants to rebrand the team with a modern and aggressive style. Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir will now reportedly focus on the T20 format as India get ready for the Asia Cup 2025, which is set to take place in September. Gambhir was busy with the Indian Test team for the past couple of months and is now said to have shifted his attention to the T20I side. According to the Times of India, Gambhir wants the Indian T20I team to play a more attacking brand of cricket, which they have often been criticised for in the past. The report claims that Gambhir wants to rebrand the team, keeping in mind the modern style of the game. He will also focus on getting results rather than the process. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As per the report, one of his new approaches will not have any designated finisher and instead roles will be assigned depending on the skill set of each player. For example, Shivam Dube could be pushed up the order to take on bowlers if the openers give a strong start. More from First Cricket Babar Azam, Rizwan snubbed as Pakistan announce 17-member squad for Asia Cup 2025 'There's no room for getting comfortable. Roles are assigned as per skills, not batting numbers. He is comfortable with this facet of a modern-day T20 cricketer. Shivam Dube, for one, will always get preference since he can go up the order and blast the bowling if the openers get off to great starts. There are no designated finishers," the report read. With the ICC Champions Trophy win and a decent tour of England done, Gautam Gambhir now has a tough task in the coming white-ball games, including the Asia Cup. These matches will be the perfect practice before the T20 World Cup 2026. The pressure is high on Gambhir to do well because he was chosen as head coach mainly for his success in the shorter format in the IPL.
