IPL 2018, SRH vs RCB: Hits and Misses

#4 Hit: Mohammed Siraj

Siraj was excellent on his home ground.

Mohammed Siraj had a terrible start to this season. He had given away more than 8 runs an over in his first three games and failed to pick up a wicket. However, since the beating he took against CSK, he’s come back really well.

He has been consistent and economical since then. He’s taken 2 wickets in every game since then (except the CSK game in Pune). Playing on his home ground (Hyderabad), Siraj was RCB’s best bowler. He was brilliant throughout the game and took 3/25 in his 4 overs.

Coming in to bowl the 6th over, Siraj dismissed the key man Shikhar Dhawan with a good bouncer. He gave away just 6 runs in his first two overs before he conceded 11 in his third. But he bowled a very good 19th over where he picked up 2 wickets (Yusuf Pathan and Wriddhiman Saha) and conceded just 9 runs despite getting hit for a six off his third ball. He finished with his best figures this IPL.
