Delhi: Gujarat Titans (GT) fast bowler Mohammad Siraj performed brilliantly against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 14th match of IPL 2025. In this match played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Siraj took three wickets while bowling strongly against his old franchise and gave just 19 runs. He was given the title of ‘Player of the Match’ for his performance.
RCB released, GT bought
RCB had released Siraj, after which Gujarat Titans expressed confidence in the IPL 2025 auction and included him in the team. Siraj also proved with his performance that he is no less than anyone. In this match, he bowled at the best economy rate of 4.8 and played an important role in winning his team by eight wickets.
Sehwag praised fiercely
Former India cricketer and World Cup winner Virender Sehwag praised Siraj’s performance. He said that there was an aggression with fast bowlers in Siraj. Sehwag believes that Siraj is very hurt by not being included in India’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 team and that is why he performed tremendously in this match.
“Don’t choose in the team? Now I will show…”
Sehwag said in a conversation with Cricbuzz, “There was a fire inside him. I think he was angry that he was not selected in the Champions Trophy team. This is the passion that we expect from a young fast bowler.” Yes, you will not choose me? Now I will show me. ‘ I hope that he will continue to play with this passion and will return to the Indian team. “
Siraj’s deadly bowling
Sehwag also said that Siraj bowled well with the new ball and if he had got a chance to put four consecutive overs, he could get another wicket. He said, “His record with the new ball in Chinnaswamy has been excellent. He gave just 12-13 runs in the first three overs. If he had taken the fourth over continuously, he might have taken another wicket. He swinged the new ball and the pitch also helped a little.”
GT’s next match with SRH
Gujarat Titans will now play against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on 6 April in their next match. The match will be held at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
