Mohammed Siraj is among the most inspiring cricketing starts in India, whose path from humble beginnings has not only inspired him but people as well. He was born on March 13, 1994, at Hyderabad. His father was an autorickshaw driver. There were financial struggles for Siraj’s family, and Siraj’s determination was majorly shaped by this fact. He started playing tennis-ball cricket matches before entering professional cricket in 2015.
His domestic breakthrough came during the 2015–16 Ranji Trophy, where he emerged as Hyderabad’s leading wicket-taker. This success paved the way for his IPL debut in 2017 with Sunrisers Hyderabad, who purchased him for ₹2.6 crores. Later, he joined Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), becoming an integral part of their bowling lineup. Siraj’s IPL earnings now total around ₹34 crores, and his consistent performances have made him one of RCB’s retained players.
