The Indian pace attack is one of the finest pace attacks all over the world. They have the likes of Jasprit, Shami, Bhuvi, Thakur, and now even Siraj. Siraj at the start had a very rough start, He bowled well In his initial days, But he was not up to the mark. With his performance.
He worked on himself trained very hard and came back as one of the leaders of pace bowling, He even changed his actions slightly and it helped. He was part of the Historic win at Gabba People and fans appreciated the success.
Mohammed Siraj Recalls the worst season of his IPL
Siraj in 2019 had a very bad run for Bangalore, He bowled with an economy of 9.55. In a game against KKR, he was smashed for around 36 runs in 15 oddballs. But he took the positives from there Mahi Bhai told me not to listen to what people had to say about me:
He took this from there He said “There were so many such comments. And people don’t see the struggle behind all this. But I remember when I first got selected how Mahi Bhai [MS Dhoni] told me to not listen to everything the people have to say about me. ‘You do well today and they’ll praise you and when you don’t the same people will abuse you. So don’t ever take it seriously.’ And yes, the same people who trolled me incessantly back then say ‘you’re the best bowler Bhai’. So, I know. I don’t want anybody’s opinion. I’m the same Siraj I was back then.”
He added “When I bowled those two beamers against KKR, people said ‘quit cricket and go back and drive autos with your father’,” 2019 the performance with RCB was so bad that I thought that’s the end of my IPL career,” he said. “But then I realized that I still have age on my side. So I decided to trust myself a bit and thankfully the RCB management also backed me a lot at that time. I almost thought any franchise in their position would have let go of a bowler after that kind of performance, but they backed me, and then 2020 the game against KKR was a life-changing game for me.”
Siraj is the rising star
The way Siraj has come through this journey was never easy but the character he has shown is commendable. He will surely be a star bowler for India. There are many big stages where he will prove his worth again and again. The Bowler sure has a bright career ahead.
