Was asked to quit cricket and drive auto after 2019 IPL: Mohammed Siraj
Mohammed Siraj says he was asked to "quit cricket and drive auto" with his father after a poor 2019 IPL season, making him think that his career in the league was over before MS Dhoni's counsel came to his rescue. Siraj's seven wickets in nine matches with an economy rate of nearly 10 reflected his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) disastrous outing that season as they lost six straight games at the start and finished at the bottom. His worst performance came against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) when he was hit for five sixes and 36 runs in 2.2 overs, which included two beamers, forcing captain Virat Kohli to take him off bowling.
