By fetching a whopping Rs. 2.6 crores in the IPL auction, Mohammed Siraj scripted another rag to riches story. A son of an auto rickshaw driver, Siraj spearheaded Hyderabad's bowling unit in the 2016 Ranji season and with 41 wickets was the second highest wicket taker in the tournament in pace department.

The pacer then justified his selection in IPL by claiming 10 wickets in six matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 23-year-old has already created a strong impression with his smooth bowling action and an effective bouncer which is hard to negotiate.

He sent back nine Mumbai batsmen in the Ranji quarter-finals in 2016 and in IPL triggered off Gujarat Lions' sensational collapse with his four wicket haul. These two stand-out performances reflect his abilities.

In 12 first class games he has earned 49 wickets and his strike rate of 45.3 is impressive as well. If he stays injury free and bowls his probing lines consistently in the next few games, he is sure to break into India's national team.
