“He’s still young even though we’ve been seeing him for ages. We are very familiar with that face and that bowling action. What stands out for him is his attitude, we’ve spoke about this before on this series. Attitude can really uplift you. If you never give up, if you make your attitude catch up with your teammates, the fans want you. That’s where you start doing special things on the park,” de Villiers mentioned on his official YouTube channel.

Siraj conjured a magical spell of seam and swing bowling with magnificent figures of 6 for 21 as India crushed Sri Lanka by 10 wickets to elevate the Asia Cup. Siraj’s astonishing effort noticed defending champions Sri Lanka getting bundled out for 50.

Speaking of the 29-year-old by no means surrender perspective de Villiers mentioned, “Siraj always keeps coming back, he’s always in your face. The bowlers who are respected most are those who never give up. They are always in your face, that’s what Siraj does. He’s not afraid of trying the short ball, he’s there in the batter’s face, he’s always trying to get you out. And Sri Lanka certainly felt that in the final.”
