Mohammed Siraj on RCB: Mohammad Siraj played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL for 7 years, but the team did not retain him for this season nor did they buy him in the auction. This time he will play for Gujarat Titans, which has bought him by bidding Rs 12.25 crore. RCB not retaining Siraj was also a surprise for the fans, because RCB fans liked Siraj a lot. Now he talked about this in the press conference held before the start of the season.
Siraj started the season
Mohammad Siraj has taken 83 wickets in 87 matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL. He is the third highest wicket taker for this team. Siraj said about separating from RCB before the start of the season that I got emotional then.
I was emotional
Mohammad Siraj said in the press conference before the start of the 18th season of IPL, “I was very emotional when I parted ways with RCB. When I was going through my worst time in 2018-19, Virat Bhaiya (Virat Kohli) supported me a lot and decided to retain me.” After this my performance also improved and my career reached new heights. Gujarat Titans will face RCB on April 2 and I am eagerly waiting for this match.
Impact Player Rules
When Siraj was asked about the impact player rule in the press conference, he appeared to be against it. He said, “As a bowler, I find this rule unfair. Earlier, taking 1-2 wickets early would tilt the bowling team’s favour. Now, even after losing wickets early, batsmen continue to hit big shots. The wicket is flat and the dew also creates problems for the bowlers.”
