The only undefeated team, India, have again reclaimed the top spot with their 7th straight win at the marquee tournament. 

IND vs SL: Hosts India book semis berth with record 302 win vs Sri Lanka in Cricket World Cup

<h2>The only undefeated team, India, have again reclaimed the top spot with their 7th straight win at the marquee tournament.&nbsp;</h2>

The 2023 ODI World Cup hosts India who are at the crest of the wave ran riot at Wankhede stadium as they not only destroyed Sri Lanka but the Men in Blue also became the first team to qualify for the semifinals with a thunderous 302-run win.&nbsp;
Sent in to bat first, the Indian batters did not need a ton-hitter to steal the show in the entertainment capital of India. After losing the in form Rohit Sharma early, Indian batters piled miseries on the Lankans. 3 batters - Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, all missed their centuries by close margins, but their stunning scores of 92, 88 and 82 respectively took India to a formidable 357-run total. With a superb 5-wicket haul, &nbsp;Dilshan Madushanka was the only bowler who turned up for the grappling Kusal Mendis' men.
In reply, the Indian pacers choked Sri Lanka. Mohammed Shami who picked his 3rd 5 wicket haul in the World Cup ran through the Lankan line-up alongside Mohammed Siraj, who took 3 wickets. The duo wrapped up the Islanders' innings in 19.4 overs where they could somehow only manage an embarrassing 55. Kasun Rajitha who came when the Lankans were 8 down, turned out to be their top scorer with 14.&nbsp;
This was the 4th biggest victory in the history of ODIs as well. The only undefeated team, India, have again reclaimed the top spot with their 7th straight win at the marquee tournament.&nbsp;

A driver from Hyderabad who is addicted to betting and had lost huge money approached Siraj for inside information.

A driver from Hyderabad who is addicted to betting and had lost huge money approached Siraj for insider information.

Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj had reported a "corrupt approach" to BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) from an unknown man who wanted insider news about the team after losing a lot of money during a previous India series.
The India pacer got a call and promptly reported the matter to ACU officials.
"It wasn't a bookie who approached Siraj. It is a driver from Hyderabad who is addicted to betting on matches. He had lost huge money and approached Siraj for insider information.
"Siraj reported the approach immediately. The law enforcement authorities have nabbed the man. More details are being awaited," a senior BCCI source privy to the development told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
Since S Sreesanth, Ankit Chavan and Ajit Chandila were arrested on spot-fixing charges along with former CSK team principal Gurunath Meiyappan, the BCCI had beefed up its ACU work.
Each IPL team has a dedicated ACU official who stays in the same hotel and is there on the ground monitoring all the movements.
Also, there is a mandatory ACU workshop for players on dos and don'ts and if any player fails to report a corrupt approach, then there are sanctions in place.
Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was suspended in 2021 as he didn't report a corrupt approach during his IPL stint in the previous season.

While many expected BCCI to put its faith in an in-form youngster as a replacement for an injured Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj's selection in the T20 squad came as a surprise to many.
He may have impressed with the red ball but the same cannot be said for the 28-year-old in the shortest format of the game. While Siraj had played just 1 T20I in 2022 before being called back for the South Africa series, his overall numbers don't make of great reading.
In 5 T20Is he has played so far, Siraj has picked just 5 wickets. The scary part is his economy rate as the pacer has leaked over 10 runs an over in every game.
Siraj may have had an impressive County season with Warwickshire but What made his selection in the T20 format bizarre was his forgettable run in IPL 2022. In the last season, Siraj was hit for 31 sixes, the most by any bowler in a single edition of the cash-rich league.
The RCB bowler leaked runs at an economy of over 10 in the 15 games he played. Moreover, he managed to pick up just 9 wickets.
But with Prasidh Krishna injured and Avesh Khan still recovering, who could have been an ideal replacement for Bumrah, if not Siraj?
Though comparing performances in international cricket to IPL records won't be just but one can't neglect it completely.
IPL is known to produce fresh talents every year and one man who impressed everyone in the 2022 season was Mohsin Khan. Though many believed that he would get his maiden India call-up sooner rather than later, it didn't happen. But fans started demanding to 'put the LSG pacer in the India squad' ever since Bumrah was ruled out. His numbers too justify the hype.
Mohsin Khan picked 14 wickets in 9 IPL games in his maiden run. What stood out was his economy rate of under 6 an over, which is no less than gold dust in T20 cricket
Another man who could have been looked at was Khaleel Ahmed. The left-arm pacer who was once looked at as a promising prospect for Team India has been out of selectors' radar for quite some time now. But he continued to make waves in IPL.
Khaleel picked up 16 wickets in 10 IPL games this year. His economy rate of a little over 8 might not be the best but not at all a concern.
Though fans would want Siraj to put his poor T20 record behind him and grab the opportunity with both hands, with a pool of young pacers to pick from, his selection doesn't seem justified on the face of it.

With 15 runs needed off the last over, Mohammed Siraj held his nerve and stopped Romario Shepherd's rampaging to help the inexperienced Team India snatch a thrilling 3-run win over West Indies in the first ODI in Trinidad.Chasing a 309-run target, the hosts were rocked early by Siraj but a 117-run stand between Kyle Mayers and Shamrah Brooks for the second wicket kept West Indies in the game. Shardul Thakur, then, removed the two set batters in quick succession at halfway mark and put India in an advantageous position. However, Brandon King took the game deep with a useful 56-run stand with Akeal Hussain to put India on edge. Despite leaking 50 runs in the last five overs, the Men In Blue brought the game back in the final over courtesy of Siraj who restricted the hosts to 305. Earlier, captain Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill provided the launchpad for a huge target with a 119-run opening stand. However, Gurdakesh Motie broke the crucial second wicket's 104-stand by claiming the wicket of Indian captain Dhawan, who missed his 18th ODI century by just three runs. In the following over, Motie also sent Shreyas Iyer back to the pavilion. India's middle order failed to make most of the situation before Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel's late flourish helped India post a 309-run target.

A turn of events and Mohd Siraj who had a patchy IPL career 3 years back became one of the players to get retained by his IPL franchise. The ace bowler had a forgettable campaign in 2019 with RCB where he could only take 7 wickets in 9 matches that he played. RCB had a disastrous season, they lost 6 straight games when the campaign started. Talking on the RCB podcast, Siraj recalled one of his worst performances that came against the Kolkata Knight Riders where he conceded 5 sixes and 36 runs, which included two beamers, in 2.2 overs. He said, 'When I bowled those two beamers people asked me to quit cricket and go back to drive autos with my father. The 27-year-old cricketer who has come a long way now also revealed a piece of advice that MS Dhoni gave him which he says 'has helped him since'. Dhoni told him to not listen to what other people say about him, and so he said, 'I don't want anybody's opinion I am the same Siraj, I was back then.

Team India head coach Rahul Dravid has hinted that Mohammed Siraj might not regain fitness ahead of the Cape Town Test vs South Africa, starting January 11.
Dravid said that the fast bowler is not fully fit and the team management would have to check on his fitness status going forward. Physio will run some scans and will assess if he can get fit. 
Siraj injured his hamstring during the Wanderers Test and bowled just 9.5 and 6 overs in the two innings respectively. Responding to that, Dravid said that not being able to use the 5th bowler did affect the team's strategy and was a factor in India losing the 2nd Test.

Dravid&nbsp;said that the fast bowler is not fully fit and the team management would have to check on his fitness status going forward. Physio will run some scans and will assess if he can get fit.&nbsp;
Siraj&nbsp;injured his hamstring during the Wanderers Test and bowled just 9.5 and 6 overs&nbsp;in the two innings respectively. Responding to that, Dravid&nbsp;said that not being able to use the 5th bowler did affect the team's strategy and was a factor in India losing the 2nd Test.
Team India will have to choose between&nbsp;Umesh&nbsp;Yadav and Ishant&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;if Siraj&nbsp;misses out on&nbsp;the series-deciding 3rd Test.

A day before India's squad departed for England, Siraj said that he&nbsp;will try to bowl in a particular spot tirelessly and will focus on bowling dots against Williamson,&nbsp;to create pressure on him. Siraj&nbsp;feels that it will provoke him to go for shots and there will be a high chance of getting him out.&nbsp;
Siraj&nbsp;however, accepted the fact that New Zealand&nbsp;would be better&nbsp;acclimatised to the English conditions than India as they reached there much before and will also play 2 Tests against the hosts.
