Overview
With the Indian Premier League’s 2025 season heating up, Mohammed Siraj’s recent explosive performance for the Gujarat Titans has stolen the spotlight as they gear up for a crucial clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Commendation from the Team Director
Gujarat Titans’ director of cricket, Vikram Solanki, didn’t hold back in praising Siraj following his spectacular showing at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In a fierce battle against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Siraj demonstrated his skill with a stunning bowling spell, taking three wickets for just 19 runs in four overs, which won him the Player of the Match title.
Significant Comeback
After initially struggling with his new team, Siraj has remarkably turned around his performance. His memorable moment came when he decimated Devdutt Padikkal’s stumps, following it up with a victory pose inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo. Continuing his domination, he clicked 144kph on the speed gun and took down Phil Salt and Liam Livingstone, playing key roles in keeping RCB under the 200-run mark.
The Titans’ Current Standings
The Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans are currently in a formidable position, holding third place in the IPL 2025 points table. With significant victories under their belt, they look forward to maintaining their momentum against last year’s finalists, Sunrisers Hyderabad, in their upcoming game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
