Siraj's Match-Winning Spell Against Sunrisers Hyderabad
Mohammed Siraj gave a remarkable performance for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 by taking four wickets over Sunrisers Hyderabad. He was rewarded the Player of the Match award for his performance. This is a powerful return for Siraj, who had earlier played for Royal Challengers Bangalore until the previous season but wasn't successful much.
Siraj Speaks of His Switch and National Team Snub
Siraj said after the game how much it meant for him to play at home with his family in attendance, particularly. Referring to his past, Siraj stated that he played seven years at RCB before joining Gujarat. He added that increased hard work on his bowling has yielded good results during this season.
He confessed to feeling let down when he wasn't selected for India's Champions Trophy team. "There was a point when I couldn't swallow that decision," he explained. Nonetheless, he didn't allow the disappointment to deter him. Rather, he concentrated on improving his previous errors and remained dedicated to his cricketing. Siraj went on to say that he's now loving his bowling and feels wickets will fall naturally once he keeps to his plan and has control on swing from both ends.
Shubman Gill on the Role of Bowlers in T20
Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill highlighted the role of bowlers in T20 cricket. "In T20s, the game changers are the bowlers," he stated. Gill admitted that even though batters tend to get the limelight, it is bowlers such as Siraj who can turn the game around.
He credited Washington Sundar for his effort, saying that while Sundar was present in the Mumbai game, the team had to make a readjustment because of the impact player rule. Gill was positive about a crucial 40-run stand that stabilized their innings and eventually took them towards the win. He also valued Siraj's plenty of energy, terming them "super."
