Sunday ka din GT ke Mohammed Siraj ke liye khaas tha, jab unhone Sunrisers Hyderabad ke khilaaf ek zabardast spell daali aur IPL mein apna 100th wicket pura kiya. Siraj ne 4 wickets liye sirf 17 runs dekar, aur isi ke saath unhone unhi ke jaise legends Jasprit Bumrah aur Mohammed Shami ke saath elite list mein apna naam darj kar liya.
Siraj ne match ki shuruaat hi dhamakedaar tareeke se ki, jab unhone Travis Head ko opening over mein hi out kar diya. Phir aaye Abhishek Sharma</strong, jinke wicket ke saath Siraj ne IPL ka apna 100th wicket pura kiya. Uske baad Aniket Verma aur Simarjeet Singh bhi Siraj ke pace ka shikaar bane.
Is shandar performance ke baad Siraj ban gaye un Indian bowlers mein se ek, jinhone IPL mein 100+ wickets liye hain. Yeh elite club mein already shamil hain: Jasprit Bumrah (165), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (183), Umesh Yadav (144), Sandeep Sharma (141), Harshal Patel (139), Mohit Sharma (133), Mohammed Shami (130) aur kai aur.
GT ke liye khelte hue Siraj ne is season mein sirf 4 matches mein 9 wickets liye hain, aur Purple Cap race mein dusre number par chal rahe hain.
“Main bahut enjoy kar raha hoon. Break ke dauraan fitness aur mental strength pe kaafi kaam kiya, aur woh ab rang la raha hai. Body fresh lag rahi hai aur bowling mein maza aa raha hai. 100% saliva help kar raha hai death overs mein reverse swing mil raha hai, aur agar ball thoda andar nip kare toh wicket pakka mera!”
“Sach kahun toh wicket thoda slow tha. Isliye maine stumps ko target kiya. Score theek hai, bas lagta hai 10 runs zyada bana diye. Lekin koi baat nahi, chase kar lenge!”
End mein GT ne match aaram se jeet liya, 7 wickets se, aur 20 balls baaki reh gayi thi. Is jeet mein Shubman Gill aur Washington Sundar ke damdar knocks ka bada yogdaan raha. Sherfane Rutherford ne bhi ek chhoti lekin impactful innings kheli.
Siraj ka yeh performance sirf ek milestone nahi tha, yeh ek message tha — ki wo sirf consistency nahi, class bhi leke aaye hain IPL 2025 mein!
