Mohammed Siraj knocks over Ryan Rickelton and celebrates like Cristiano Ronaldo in GT vs MI IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Mohammed Siraj delivered with the ball for Gujarat Titans (GT) in their IPL 2025 clash against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, March 29. After getting rid of Rohit Sharma, Siraj also cleaned up the second opener Ryan Rickelton to dent MI’s chances in the run chase.

The dismissal came in the fifth over of MI’s chase of 197. Siraj bowled a back-of-a-length ball pitching on the leg stump. Rickelton swung across the line and got an inside edge that crashed onto the stumps with the off-stump flying out of the ground. Siraj burst into Cristiano Ronaldo’s trademark SIUUU celebrations. The speedster struck twice during his three-over spell in the powerplay to reduce MI to 35/3 after 4.3 overs.

With two quick wickets, Siraj also returned to form after going wicketless against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on his GT debut. On the other hand, MI opener Ryan Rickelton continued his flop show with under-par scores of 13 and six in the first matches.
