Mohammed Siraj during his first match against former Indian Premier League (IPL) team Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), was breathing fire for Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 3.
Mohammed Siraj shocked RCB as he took the key wickets of Devdutt Padikkal and Phil Salt in the powerplay overs. Siraj was a part of RCB for seven years, and was taken by Gujarat Titans during the IPL 2025 mega-auction in Jeddah.
As Siraj bowled Phil Salt out, Gujarat Titans went on to their official ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) account and made a fun post. The caption wrote, “Stumps to Siraj- Mujhe kyu toda? (Why break me?)“
