Mohammed Siraj Went Full Beast Mode: 3 Sixes in 3 Balls to Seal India’s Win!

Mohammed Siraj produced a finish nobody saw coming.

With India needing 16 runs from the final over against Sri Lanka Cricket XI, the fast bowler smashed three consecutive sixes to end the chase in stunning fashion. Siraj's unlikely batting assault helped India beat Sri Lanka Cricket XI by six wickets, turning what looked like a routine warm-up game into one of the most entertaining moments of India's Sri Lanka preparations. The India pacer finished unbeaten on 32 from just 15 balls, including four sixes and a four. And the final over? Simply outrageous.

Siraj’s 6-6-6 finish steals the show

India needed 16 runs from the last six balls. Mohammed Siraj took strike. What happened next was pure power hitting.

Six. Six. Six.

Three balls. Three maximums. Match over. Siraj repeatedly cleared the deep-midwicket boundary to take India past the target with three deliveries still remaining. His explosive finish left even the Sri Lankan players curious about the bat he had just used, adding an amusing moment to an already remarkable finish.

Mohammed Siraj’s incredible batting figures

Siraj's cameo was extraordinary by any standard, especially considering that his primary role in the Indian team is with the ball. The three consecutive sixes were the highlight, but Siraj had already shown his intent by striking four sixes during his unbeaten 32.

India chase down 200

Sri Lanka Cricket XI posted 200/6, giving India a useful target during the three-day warm-up match. India eventually reached 214/4, winning by six wickets. Several of India's top-order players got valuable time in the middle, including Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, but it was Siraj who provided the spectacular conclusion. For a warm-up fixture, it was an unusually dramatic way to finish a chase.

Siraj wasn’t the only Indian player hitting sixes

There had already been plenty of big hitting during India's warm-up game. Gurnoor Brar had produced his own impressive display of power hitting, including four sixes in a single over. Siraj then added another burst of fireworks when India needed a quick finish. The two performances highlighted India's lower-order ability to contribute rapid runs, although Siraj's cameo was undoubtedly the moment that grabbed the headlines.

Why Siraj’s cameo caught everyone’s attention

Siraj is not picked in India's Test side for his batting. He is one of the team's frontline fast bowlers. That makes a 32-run innings at a strike rate above 200 even more eye-catching. More importantly, the cameo showed Siraj's willingness to attack when the situation demanded it. With only a handful of balls available, he did not try to manufacture singles or wait for mistakes. He went straight for the boundary. And it worked spectacularly.

India’s real test begins in Galle

The Sri Lanka Cricket XI game was preparation for a much bigger challenge. India's first Test against Sri Lanka is scheduled to begin in Galle on August 15, 2026. The warm-up gave India's players valuable match practice before the Test series, while Siraj's extraordinary cameo provided an unexpected bonus. The serious examination, however, will come in Galle. There, Siraj's primary job will once again be to make the ball talk rather than the bat. But after watching him finish a chase with three straight sixes, nobody will be forgetting his batting cameo anytime soon.

The Bottom Line

Mohammed Siraj was supposed to be India's fast-bowling weapon. Instead, he briefly turned into a six-hitting machine. With 16 needed from the final over, Siraj produced 6, 6, 6 and ended the contest before the over could even reach its halfway point. India got the win, Siraj got the spotlight, and cricket fans got one seriously unexpected highlight. Sometimes, even a fast bowler gets to have his Andre Russell moment.
