Mohammed Siraj is all prepped up to make his debut for Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after being a key pacer for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) since long. The pacer is facing a new task of fitting into the new chapter and moving forward with the fond memories of his former franchise.
Mohammed Siraj Heaps Huge Praise For Virat Kohli
Reflecting on his journey with RCB, Siraj gave huge credit to Virat Kohli being a guiding force in his initial stages and his departure means an end of an era as both will be playing against each other now. Over 87 matches, he picked up 83 wickets at an average of 31.45, with his best figures being 4/21. With Siraj being a top bowler for RCB, still the franchise hasn’t won their maiden title.
“He Backed Me In My Bad Time”
“To be honest, Virat Kohli has a huge hand in my career. He has backed me in my bad time – 2018 and 2019 – he supported me, he even retained me, and after that, my performance and graph went up. He has been very supportive. It has been very emotional for me to leave RCB. Let’s see what happens when I come against RCB. The match is on April 2,” Siraj told ANI.
