Watch: Mohammed Siraj's arrogance costs Gujarat Titans as Heinrich Klaasen steals extra runs

Gujarat Titans fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has played a crucial role for his team in the ongoing game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 19th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is taking place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Mohammed Siraj took Gujarat Titans off to a flying start with the ball as he breathed fire with the ball, causing trouble to the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters. The fast bowler first removed Travis Head and then followed it up with the wicket of Abhishek Sharma.

While his bowling in the powerplay was exceptional, he also made a blunder on the field, which cost the team extra runs. It was during the 2nd ball of the 9th over when Rashid Khan was bowling to Heinrich Klaasen, who was trying to rebuild the innings.

Rashid Khan bowled a fuller delivery outside off, to which Heinrich Klaasen played a drive to wide long-off, where Mohammed Siraj was stationed. The fast bowler didn't give his best as he came up with the sloppy effort.

He failed to collect the ball with one hand and was seen staring at the batters momentarily before picking the ball and throwing it towards the stumps. Heinrich Klaasen took advantage of that as he went on to steal an extra single.

I have worked on my bowling and fitness, feeling fresh and I am enjoying bowling - Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj talked about his performance with the ball in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He said that he has worked hard on his fitness and his feeling fresh. The pacer also talked about how the use of saliva has helped bowlers in the league. Speaking after the innings, he said:

"I am enjoying a lot. I have worked on my bowling and fitness, feeling fresh and I am enjoying bowling. Even if the ball tails a bit (due to the use of saliva), it becomes easier to get wickets (especially bowled and lbw) dismissals.

"The wicket is on the slower side. Just tried to attack the stumps as much as I can. I think they have scored 10 runs more than what we would have liked."
