Gujarat Titans (GT) speedster Mohammed Siraj grabbed attention due to his antics on the field during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash against Delhi Capitals (DC). Mohammed Siraj was seen yelling at his teammate R Sai Kishore after being disappointed with a fielding effort from the spinner.
GT skipper Shubman Gill opted to bowl first after winning the toss at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday, April 19. DC dropped Jake Fraser-McGurk after a series of poor performances. Karun Nair was moved up the order to open the batting with Abishek Porel. Faf du Plessis was not included due to injury.

Siraj took the catch to send the left-handed batter, who scored 18 off 9 balls, back to the dressing room.
During the third over of Delhi Capitals’ innings, Siraj was visibly frustrated after R Sai Kishore misfielded. The batter slashed a delivery past point for a boundary, and although there was a chance to stop the ball, Sai Kishore appeared sluggish in his attempt. Siraj was furious as GT conceded two crucial runs.
