IPL 2024: Siraj Needs To Find His Zone With Regards To Preparation & Game Time, Says Zaheer Khan
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: In IPL 2024, Mohammed Siraj hasn’t been amongst the wickets for Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Zaheer Khan, the former India left-arm fast-bowlers, believes it is a matter of him finding the zone in terms of preparation and game time to be back at his best version.
IPL 2023 saw Siraj pick 19 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 19.73 and economy rate of 7.5, with ten scalps coming in power-play. But in the ongoing tournament, Siraj hasn’t been able to reach those heights, picking four wickets in six innings at an average of 57.25 and economy rate of 10.40.
His power-play numbers have plummeted too – picking just one wicket at an economy rate of 12.3. Siraj was even left out of RCB’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad earlier this week, but Zaheer feels Siraj should partner with fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in the T20 World Cup, starting from June 1 in the West Indies and USA.
