Mohammed Siraj continued his stunning form to help Gujarat Titans (GT) strike early in the IPL 2025 match against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, April 6. The speedster got rid of swashbuckling opener Travis Head for just eight runs off five as the SunRisers lost their first wicket for nine.

The dismissal came off the last delivery of the opening over of SRH’s innings. Siraj bowled a length ball around the middle and leg stumps. The left-hander flicked it towards mid-wicket, and Sai Sudharsan took a sharp low catch without moving an inch. Siraj looked pumped up with the dismissal but didn’t bring out the Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired 'SIUUU' celebration.

As per cricmetric.com, this was the eighth time Siraj dismissed Head in competitive cricket, but the first time in IPL.

On the other hand, Travis Head failed in his third consecutive innings, returning with scores of 22 and four against Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in his last two outings.
