Mohammed Siraj- a leading name in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s bowling attack- was spotted showcasing his batting prowess during a training session. A clip of Siraj’s batting practice was dropped on the official Twitter page of the franchise.
Featuring in the video, the Indian pacer expressed his desire of playing as a “pinch hitter” during Royal Challengers Bangalore’s next Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Chennai Super Kings, scheduled to be played on April 18. Siraj conveyed that he wishes to fill Glenn Maxwell’s shoes as the Australia all-rounder may feel tired after putting on an explosive show in the last match.
“Miyan as Pinch Hitter, anyone? No dearth of fun when Siraj is around,” Royal Challengers Bangalore tweeted while sharing the Hyderabad-born’s batting in the practice session.
