Mohammad Siraj had a terrible economy rate in the IPL, taking eight wickets in 10 games.
David Miller and Rahul Tewatia led Gujarat Titans to their eighth win in nine IPL 2022 matches with a brilliant chase. Tewatia, in particular, is establishing a reputation for putting the team’s adversity to good use. As a result, GT defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets in the Indian Premier League on Saturday. Miller and Tewatia forged a 79-run unbroken partnership off just 40 balls as GT fought back from 95-4 in 12.5 overs. RCB’s bowlers once again fell short of expectations at crucial moments, and the team was forced to pay the price.
Even though he took two wickets, Mohammed Siraj, who was retained by RCB ahead of the IPL mega-auction, was disappointed with his line and lengths.
So far this season, the fast bowler hasn’t lived up to the hype he was supposed to. A bowler with his potential should be able to capture eight wickets in 10 games, but his economy rate of 9.39 is simply unacceptable.
Tewatia smacked it for a boundary in the 13th over of Gujarat’s chase when Siraj wandered onto his pads. Simon Doull and Matthew Hayden were baffled by Siraj’s delivery.
Hayden remarked that a U-12 cricketer would have struck a boundary off that delivery.
“There is a boundary on the short side of the ground that we are referring to. This could have been played to the ground by a U-12 cricketer “The ex-Australian opener made a statement.
In particular, the former New Zealand fast bowler was scathing about the delivery.
“Some naive cricket, to be honest. I’ve seen a sliver of it from our commentary box in the last few overs. Go over the left-handed batsmen and stop bowling down that middle, middle, and leg stump line, and make use of the short side boundary stuff on the other side “while on-air, Doull remarked
It was only in the next few balls that Siraj figured out how to use his radar correctly and did exactly what Doull had requested.
“In that case, thank you very much. In a row, two balls “He expressed his relief to the New Zealander.
There is a lot of uncertainty at RCB after the loss. Only two points separate RCB from Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings in sixth and seventh place in the IPL points table, but they have played two more games than those two teams.
