IPL 2023: Genuine Pace, Killer Yorker Behind Mohammed Siraj Leading Wicket-Takers Chart, Says Brett Lee
One of the most impressive stories in IPL 2023 has been the stellar bounceback of Mohammed Siraj after an unimpressive last season. In 2022, Siraj was a pale shadow of his dominating present self, taking only nine wickets in 15 games at an economy rate of 10.08, apart from conceding 31 sixes in the league. But in IPL 2023, Siraj has literally turned a corner, becoming a mainstay with the ball for Royal Challengers Bangalore and leading the wicket-takers chart with 13 scalps at an average of 15.46 and economy rate of 7.17.
What also stands out from Siraj's performances in IPL 2023 has been his spells at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. At a stadium considered as a graveyard for the fast bowlers due to its small boundaries and nature of the pitch allowing the batters to play their shots, spells of 1/21, 3/22, 2/23, 1/30 and 1/39 show Siraj has been able to hold his own at Chinnaswamy.
