    What's the story

    Indian speedster Mohammed Siraj starred on Day four of the second Test against West Indies at the Queen's Park Oval.

    This was Siraj's second Test fifer and also his best figures in this format.

    WI resumed Day 4 on 229/5 and the pacer ran through the lower order by scalping four wickets.

    Courtesy of his figures 5/60, India bundled out WI for 255.

    Spell

    A fiery spell from Siraj

    Siraj had to toil hard to scalp his first wicket of the match. His first wicket was of Joshua Da Silva on Day 3.

    He returned on Day 4 with great zeal and removed Jason Holder first. He then trapped Alzarri Joseph right in front of the wickets.

    Siraj then scalped two wickets in two deliveries, removing Kemar Roach and Shannon Gabriel.

    Stats

    A look at his Test numbers

    Playing his 21st test, Siraj has now raced to 59 wickets in the longest format of the game. He also owns an average of 29.83.

    Besides scalping two fifers, he has claimed four four-wicket hauls.

    This is only his second Test against WI and he has scalped seven wickets against them.

    Notably, Siraj has surpassed Ajit Agarkar's (58) wicket tally in Test cricket.
