ICC WTC Final: Mohd Siraj reveals his game plan to stop Kane Williamson- India’s new pace sensation Mohammad Siraj has revealed how he will stop New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson in the build-up to the ICC WTC Final. He explained his game plan for the Kiwi skipper and how he will tackle him with dot balls.
“I will try to bowl in a particular spot tirelessly. I will focus on bowling dots against Kane Williamson, the best batsman in the New Zealand line-up, to create pressure on him. It will provoke him to go for shots and there will be a high chance of getting him out,” Siraj told ABP News.
The right-arm pacer had made a big impact in his debut Test series against Australia away from home. He said he would like to emulate his success in Australia tour.
“Australian pitches offer more bounce and pace. I used to bowl back of good length there. But in England, there will be more swing. So I will try to make the batsmen play on front-foot,” he added.

The remarks come a day ahead of India’s departure for England tour.
However, Siraj accepted the fact that New Zealand will get more acclimatised to the conditions than India. It is notable that New Zealand will begin their two-match Test series against England beginning Wednesday.
“We are going through quarantine these days before we leave for England. We had no cricket after IPL got postponed. But New Zealand will play a Test series against England and they have reached there much before us. So they will not only be among matches, they will also get more time to adjust to English conditions,” Siraj signed off.
Team India will undergo 10 days quarantine in England before the epic final- ICC WTC Final- against Kiwis beginning June 18 at Southampton.
