Mohammed Siraj on RCB and Virat Kohli: Mohammad Siraj played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL for 7 years, but the team did not retain him for this season nor bought him in auction. This time he will play for Gujarat Titans, which bought him by bid for Rs 12.25 crore. RCB not retaining Siraj was also surprised for the fans, because RCB fans liked Siraj a lot. Now he spoke on this in a press conference held before the season started.

Mohammad Siraj has taken 83 wickets in 87 matches for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL. He is the third bowler to take the most wickets for this team. Siraj said about separating from RCB before the start of the season, that I had become emotional then.

I was emotional- Mohammad Siraj

Mohammad Siraj said in the press conference before the start of the IPL 18th season, “I was very emotional when I was separated from RCB. When I was going through my worst time in 2018-19, Virat Bhaiya (Virat Kohli) supported me a lot, decided to retain me. After this, my performance would also be better, my performance will be better and my career heights will go on. And I am keen on this match.

Siraj was also seen against it when he was asked about the impact player rule in the press conference. He said, “As a bowler, I feel this rule. First, early 1-2 wickets used to shift to the team with Momentum bowling. Now even after falling wickets, the batsman continues to hit big hits. The wicket is flat and the dew factor also creates difficulties for the bowler.”
