For Team India's fast bowler Mohammad Siraj, the three-match One Day International series against South Africa was very memorable. Siraj took five wickets in three matches during the series at an average of 20.80 and also conceded 104 runs at an economy rate of just 4.52. Siraj was adjudged man of the series. During the presentation, when he came to receive the award, former India spinner Murali Karthik congratulated him in a Hyderabadi style and immediately asked if I was right.

As soon as Siraj arrived, Murli Karthik said - 'Mian, what are you bowling? Well said I am in Hyderabadi. To this Siraj smiled and said to him in reply, 'Exactly right.'And after that, he himself started laughing.

Murali said that whenever you get the ball, it seems that you bowl with full energy. To this Siraj said, 'First of all I thank Allah. Doing well on such a platform and against such a strong team gives different confidence. Siraj also told that whenever he comes on the field, his goal is to give his 100 percent and make the team win.
