Follow UsMohammed Siraj has been a pivotal figure for Gujarat Titans, with five wickets in three appearances at an average of 21.40. One of his best games came against his former side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), when he picked up figures of 3/19, paying back the Titans for showing trust in him.
Gujarat Titans’ Director of Cricket, Vikram Solanki, revealed that Siraj has been exceptional since he joined the franchise, adding that his ‘relationship’ is great with their head coach Ashish Nehra.
“Siraj has been exceptional since he joined us. He obviously has a very good relationship with Ashish and you’re seeing the fruits of his hard work and the work he’s doing with Ashish,” Solanki said.
“A coach’s job is to instil confidence in players, and Ashish has done that in abundance. You’ve seen that with other players that have been part of the team, and I think that’s exactly what is transpiring with Siraj.”
Gujarat will next take on Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 6 (Sunday), where they will have a chance to notch up another two points, given SRH’s struggling run in the season.
“You can sometimes fall into the trap of what’s gone on previously. We’re mindful of Sunrisers being a very capable and strong team with match winners throughout their line-up. We’ll respect that,” he stated.
