Fast bowler Mohammad Siraj played this time for Gujarat Titans in the IPL. Earlier, he was part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team for 7 years. But before the auction, Siraj was released by RCB. Not only this, but RCB did not even try to buy them in the auction. Now the team’s director Mo Bobat revealed the team’s strategy regarding this.

RCB team director Mo Bobat, while talking to the cricketer, said that if his team had retained Mohammad Siraj, it would be difficult for Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which she wanted to buy. Let us know that after playing for the 11 seasons for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Bhubaneswar played for RCB this year. RCB bought him for Rs 10.75 crore.

Why did RCB not retain Mohammad Siraj?

Talking to Cricbuj, Bobat said, “Mohammad Siraj is the player about whom we had considered the most. Indian fast bowlers could not easily meet in the IPL. We discussed every situation that was possible. Retm (right to match) was also discussed with the release, it was not a direct decision. It was not a direct decision. This does not happen for any one reason, many factors play in it. “

Siraj took 16 wickets in 15 matches played for Gujarat Titans this year, although his economy was 9.24. Siraj played a total of 87 matches for RCB in 7 seasons in the IPL, in which he has 99 wickets.

At the same time, the team director of RCB also revealed that Cameron Green was not retained only due to injury. If the Australian all -rounder had fit, RCB would have retained them.

RCB won its first title

Well, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s strategy worked and won his first IPL title after 18 years. RCB defeated Punjab in the final. Virat Kohli was the highest run -scorer for RCB, he scored 657 runs in 15 fairy. Josh Hazlewood took the most wickets for RCB in bowling, he took 22 wickets in 12 innings.

India’s England tour was historic, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, famous Krishna, Mohammad Siraj, Jaspreet Bumrah performed brilliantly for the first time Test captaincy. It was already decided about Bumrah that he would play a total of 3 matches in this series, he played first, third and fourth Tests. However, India won only those 2 Tests, in which it did not play. World’s number-1 Test bowler Bumrah posted a post after the series ended 2-2, on which the fans started trolling him.

In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj took 9 wickets in the 5th Test, on the last day he played an important role in winning India by 6 runs with 3 wickets out of 4. With the help of this victory, India was successful in equalizing the series 2-2. Bumrah returned to India due to knee injury before the 5th Test. After winning the Player of the Match Award in this match, Siraj said that if Bumrah had also been together, the happiness of victory would have been more. Bumrah also posted a post on his social media account after the end of this series and wrote, “We have brought the best memories from a very competitive and exciting Test series! What will happen next, it is eagerly waiting for what will happen next.”

Why did Jaspreet Bumrah become trolls

On this post, some fans started trolling Bumrah, because of this he did not take the name of Mohammad Siraj in his post. One user wrote that “Is Bumrah Siraj insiykure?”

Mohammad Siraj took 23 wickets in 5 Tests, he became the highest wicket -taker in England. Apart from him, only Bumrah has taken 23 wickets in a series in England. One user wrote, “This post of Jaspreet Bumrah is very interesting, did not appreciate Siraj. Nothing was written for the famous Krishna and Gill.”

Fans also in support of Jaspreet Bumrah

It is stupid to troll Jasprit Bumrah for not writing Siraj’s name in the post and not playing all 5 matches. Everyone knows how many important matches have been won by Bumrah on the strength of his brilliant bowling, he did not become the number 1 bowler of such Tests. In a way, Bumrah trolling was done, on the other hand, fans were seen in his support.

Mohammad Siraj, who gave India a historic victory in the fifth and decisive Test match played against England at The Oval ground in London, is getting congratulations from all over the country. In this episode, Bhavna Kohli Dhingra, sister of former India captain Virat Kohli, also shared a passionate message for Siraj on social media.

Bhavna shared two pictures of Siraj on Instagram. One shows Siraj in a emotional posture on the field in Lord’s, and the other celebrating after winning at The Oval. With this he wrote, “This game always performs miracles. There are heroes who inspire and assure us in hope and positivity. @Mohammedsirajofficial you are great.”

At the same time, Virat Kohli also wrote ‘X’ praising Siraj, “The brilliant victory of Team India. Siraj and the famous commitment and combination gave us this amazing victory. Especially Siraj, which always puts everything at stake for the team. Very happy for him.”

Significantly, Mohammad Siraj took the most wickets in this five -Test series – a total of 24 wickets, and 185.3 overs marathon bowled. In the second innings of the Oval Test, he took India a historic win by just six runs with five wickets.

This victory gave India 2–2 equal in Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Despite Jasprit Bumrah’s comfort in this Test, Siraj played the role of a frontline bowler and performed tremendously.

After the victory, Siraj returned to his hometown Hyderabad via Mumbai Airport, where fans welcomed him warmly. Fans also demanded selfie and autograph at Mumbai Airport, but Siraj soon left for Hyderabad flight.

Mohammad Siraj once again proved that he is not only a trusted bowler for Team India, but is also the real hero to win the team in difficult circumstances.
