Mohammed Siraj’s Scorching Spell Turns Heads, Internet Theories Swirl

On Sunday night, Mohammed Siraj delivered one of the most formidable performances of his IPL career, effectively dismantling Sunrisers Hyderabad with a display of pace, precision, and aggression at Uppal Stadium, his home ground for domestic cricket. Playing for Gujarat Titans, the dynamic fast bowler achieved his best IPL figures of 4/17 in four overs, significantly undermining SRH’s top order and spearheading GT’s impressive bowling display.

Known affectionately as 'Miyan' by fans and teammates, Siraj was in exceptional form from the outset with the new ball. He dismissed Travis Head early in the innings and maintained relentless pressure through his pinpoint accuracy, skillfully combining sharp bouncers with cunning off-cutters. The performance was marked not only by the wickets taken but also by his remarkable control, as evidenced by an economy rate of 4.20 on a pitch where precision is crucial, highlighting his rhythm and confidence.

This match also marked a significant personal achievement for Siraj, as he reached the milestone of 100 wickets in the Indian Premier League. He now boasts a total of 102 wickets in 97 matches, with an average of 28.88 and an improving economy rate of 8.60. The game held special significance, not only for the milestone but also because it took place at a venue where Siraj honed his skills in cricket, making the accomplishment even more meaningful.

Here's how X reacted:

This season, Siraj has displayed exceptional form. With nine wickets across four matches, averaging 13.77 and maintaining an economy rate of 7.75, he currently ranks as the joint second-highest wicket-taker in IPL 2025. His impressive statistics indicate that he is performing at the height of his abilities.

Although Prasidh Krishna (2/25) and Sai Kishore (2/24) contributed with important spells, it was Siraj who established the initial momentum. His early wickets left SRH struggling at 50/3, and despite a brief fightback from Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen, the home team could only reach 152/8 in their allotted 20 overs. Ultimately, the team secured a remarkable seven-wicket victory, bolstered by Shubman Gill's unbeaten half-century and a rapid 49 from Washington Sundar, who made his season debut.
