Mohammed Siraj's performance is extremely encouraging for the future of Indian fast bowling. Siraj's rise, along with experienced bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, makes the Indian attack one of the most dangerous in the world. Siraj's reverse swing and seam movement are creating problems for opposition batsmen not only on overseas pitches but also on Indian pitches.

Given his consistently excellent performances, it is expected that by the end of 2025, he will take this record to even greater heights and establish a new fast bowling legacy in Indian cricket.
