Siraj rises fire
This is Siraj’s most spectacular performance in the IPL. Siraj also got his 100th IPL wicket in this match in this match. Siraj’s own struggle was going on behind this magnificent performance. He was not selected in India’s Champions Trophy 2025 team. He was a bit upset by this, but he did not give up and made a brilliant comeback. Mohammad Siraj was an important part of India’s ODI team till last year but did not get a place in the 15 -member team of the Champions Trophy.
Was out of the team
India expressed more confidence in spin bowlers and included only two fast bowlers, Mohammed Shami and Harshit Rana in the team. Shami played all the matches, while Harshit got a chance to play in just two matches. After the match, Siraj told that he was a bit disappointed due to not being selected in the team. He also told that his family and friends supported him a lot in this difficult time. Due to this support, he was able to perform well.
Siraj said after the match, ‘It is always special to play on your home ground. My family was also present there, which gave me a lot of encouragement. Siraj further said, ‘I have played seven years for RCB. I have worked hard on my bowling and mindset, which I am getting benefit. There was a time when I was not able to digest (not to be selected for the Champions Trophy), but I did not lose courage and paid attention to my fitness and game. ‘
Siraj is in great form
Hyderabad fast bowler Siraj is in excellent form in IPL 2025. He has taken 9 wickets in four matches at an average of 13.77 and an economy rate of 7.75. Sunrisers Hyderabad could not score a big score due to his bowling. Siraj said, ‘Whatever mistakes I was making, I worked on him and I am enjoying my bowling. As a professional, when you are consistently with the Indian team, doubt arises in your mind, but I encouraged myself and was ready for IPL. ‘
He further said, ‘When you are not selected, this question comes to your mind. But I wanted to be ready for IPL. When you do what you want to do, you stay on top. When you rotate the ball both in and out and it naturally, it gives you a different feeling. ‘
