Mohammed Siraj continues to produce gems of performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
The Indian fast bowler ran through the SunRisers Hyderabad top and lower order after Gujarat Titans won the toss and opted to bowl.
In his four overs, he returned match-winning figures of 4/17, including the wickets of SRH openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. It helped the one time champions to restrict the hosts to 152/8.
In response, Shubman Gill (61 not out) and Washingtor Sundar (49) played breath-taking knocks to guide SRH to victory with 21 balls remaining.
On being adjudged man of the match at home, Siraj said, “When you come to your home ground, it’s a special feeling. My family was there in the crowd and that lifted me up. I have played for seven years for RCB.”
“I have worked hard on my bowling and also on my mindset, it’s working really well for me. At one time, I was not able to digest it (having not been picked for Champions Trophy) but I kept my spirits up and worked on my fitness and game. Whatever mistakes I was making, I worked on those and I’m enjoying my bowling. As a professional, when you are consistently with the Indian team, a doubt grows in your mind (on him being dropped) but I cheered myself up and was looking forward to the IPL. When you execute what you are trying to deliver, you stay at the top. When you move the ball both in and out and it works instinctively, it gives you a different feeling,” he added.
Gujarat Titans are currently at the second spot in the IPL 2025 points table with three wins from four clashes.
