The 31 -year -old sat the foundations for the victory of Gujarat Titans against his previous team
Mohammed Siraj was released to Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after spending seven seasons in the franchise. In addition to that, he also had to deal with the disappointment of his non -selection for the Champions Trophy 2025 that India won.
The changes before IPL 2025 seem to have turned on the Hyderabad palace, which already has five WICKETS of the first three games. On Wednesday, Siraj returned to the M Chinnaswamy stadium to play against its previous team in the colors of the Gujarat Titans and claimed 3-15 to establish a victory of eight wickt.

The 31 years counted revealed how a conversation with the coach of GT Ashish Nehra and the veteran pacemakers Ishant Sharma cleared his head and helped him find his rhythm in the new season.
“Once the Gujarat Titans picked me up, I talked to Ashish Bhai. He (Nehra) tells me to enjoy his bowling and Ishu (Ishant Sharma) Bhai tells me what line and length to play. My mentality is to have beliefs and then the launch does not matter,” Siraj said in the presentation after the backpack.
Siraj also said it was emotional for him to return to Bengaluru and play for a different team.
“I was a little emotional. I was here for 7 years, I changed the red to blue shirt and was excited, but once I got the ball, it was fine,” he said.
The highlight of his performance was the battle with the opener Phil Salt, who hit a gigantic six to which Siraj responded by marking his brows and hitting the celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo ‘Siu’.
“I am a fan of Ronaldo, hence the celebration,” Siraj said about his admiration for great football.

Being relegated to only a reserve that is not for sale for the Champions Trophy 2025 clearly seemed to have an effect on Siraj. His lines have been clenched and his sewing movement has been deadly.
“I had been constantly playing, but during the break I corrected my mistakes and worked in my physical state,” he said about the time he spent since February.
There is a spring in its passage even when it is filming, visible by the way it threw a great depth opportunity in the middle of the Wickt in the bowling alley of Rashid Khan.
He did not complete the capture to fire Liam Livingstone, but managed to take his fingers to a ball that looked like a four. This was after playing three disciplined overs and claiming two crucial wicks.

When he talked about the Desaise, he had mentioned that he was able to collect wickts with the old ball as when he pointed to the selection committee and Captain Rohit Sharma.
Poetically, he obtained Rohit’s Wickt with a brilliant sewing installment when GT faced Mumbai’s Indians in his second game.
Many had criticized Siraj for not entering the main absence of the pacemaker Jasprit Bumrah in the second entries of the Sydney test against Australia. That was January and surely he could not influence a 2-2 series draw.
Three months later, Siraj took a step forward in the main absence of GT Kagiso Rabada and fired his team to victory in the strength of RCB.
