'Leader Mohammed Siraj Regains Swing, Aggression' As RCB, India Hopes Rise High
The change in Mohammed Siraj's fortunes has played a critical role in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's late surge in this IPL, and the pacer's good run might also have put the Indian thinktank at ease ahead of next month's T20 World Cup.
