GT's ₹12.25 Cr signing celebrates birthday with teammates ahead of IPL 2025 [Watch]

The Gujarat Titans (GT) contingent celebrated Mohammed Siraj's birthday on Thursday by cutting a cake ahead of IPL 2025. The Hyderabadi pacer turned 31 on March 13. He recently joined the GT camp in Ahmedabad to begin preparations for the upcoming season of IPL.

It will be the debut season for Mohammed Siraj with the Titans. After a seven-year association, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Siraj parted ways ahead of the mega auction last December. GT later outbid multiple franchises at the auction and procured Siraj's services by offering a hefty paycheque of ₹12.25 crores.

The Gujarat franchise provided a glimpse of Mohammed Siraj's birthday celebrations in their camp by sharing a video on X. The post was captioned:

"Miyan’s first birthday celebration with GT! 🫶🎂 Mohammed Siraj | #AavaDe | #TATAIPL2025."
