IPL 2018: Predicting the wild cards from each franchise

Mohammed Siraj (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

The most recent addition to India's T20I side, Mohammed Siraj had a very impressive debut season in the IPL last year as he finished the season with 10 wickets in just 6 matches. Playing the perfect second fiddle to Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ashish Nehra, Siraj provided SRH with vital wickets at regular intervals throughout the season. This time out, however, he could end up playing a lot bigger role than he played last year.

Since Umesh Yadav is the only senior Indian fast bowler in the squad, Siraj is guaranteed to play a number of matches this time around. With a lot of attention on how other accomplished bowlers like Chahal and Woakes perform, Siraj could end up as the vital game-changing bowler that could finally help RCB win their maiden IPL title.
