Siraj, known for his unwavering commitment to the game, showcased his talent by taking crucial wickets early in the innings, dismissing Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill with a spellbinding performance. His figures of 2 wickets for 29 runs in 4 overs played a pivotal role in restricting Gujarat Titans to a total of 147 runs.

After Siraj’s impactful display with the ball, RCB chased down the target comfortably with 38 balls to spare, securing a convincing 4-wicket victory.

Notably, during the Gabba Test, Mohammed Siraj displayed immense resilience by overcoming personal tragedy and delivering a standout performance against top-tier batters like Steve Smith. Gavaskar commended Siraj’s resolve during this period, emphasizing his commitment to the team, even in the face of adversity.
