Mohammed Siraj has enjoyed a stellar rise in international cricket in recent times. Since making his India debut in a T20I in 2017, Siraj was in and out of the team before getting a regular stretch of games, particularly in Tests, over the last few months. The 27-year-old pacer is now a key asset for both Team India and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Siraj was recently retained by RCB ahead of the new season of the IPL. In a recent discussion on The RCB Podcast, Siraj recently recalled his humble origins and revealed a story from his younger days about convincing his family to let him pursue cricket.
