Navjot Singh Sidhu Celebrates Mohammed Siraj’s Triumphant IPL 2025 Journey
Former Indian cricketer and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu recently lauded Gujarat Titans’ pace bowler Mohammed Siraj for his exceptional performance in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). Siraj’s journey this season has been nothing short of a dramatic resurgence, especially after his recent exclusion from India’s Champions Trophy team.
Reclaiming Glory on the Pitch
Mohammed Siraj, deeply affected by his exclusion from the national team, channeled his determination into his IPL matches, proving his mettle by disrupting some of the league’s most formidable batters. Siraj’s aggressive bowling style, which includes his signature swinging deliveries, has posed a significant threat to his opposition.
A Spectacular Comeback
Despite a rocky start against Punjab Kings, where Siraj conceded 54 runs, he quickly reclaimed his form, delivering back-to-back stellar performances. Notably, his exploits included dismantling Mumbai Indians’ top batting lineup and securing a critical win with a three-wicket haul against Bangalore, his former team.
Peak Performance Against Sunrisers Hyderabad
In a more recent match in his homeland of Hyderabad, Siraj delivered an outstanding performance that captivated cricket fans. His ‘Miyaan Magic’, coupled with fierce in-swingers and yorkers, culminated in a personal best IPL performance, with figures of 4/17 against the Sunrisers. His celebration, inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘Suii,’ further electrified the atmosphere, marking a memorable day both for him and IPL spectators.
Sidhu’s Words of Praise
In his praise, Sidhu highlighted Siraj’s ability to silence critics and establish himself as a formidable bowler. “He dismissed powerful batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton, proving his critics wrong and showcasing his growth as a complete bowler. I salute your commitment,” Sidhu expressed.
Siraj’s Impact in IPL 2025
So far in IPL 2025, Mohammed Siraj has been a key player for the Gujarat Titans, accumulating nine wickets over four matches, boasting an impressive average of 13.77 and an economy rate of 7.75. His performances have placed him as the joint second-highest wicket-taker of the season, making him a central figure in the Titans’ campaign.
With his current form and relentless spirit, Mohammed Siraj is not just redeeming himself but also setting new benchmarks in the world of cricket.
