Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fast bowler, Mohammed Siraj is known for his aggressive nature on the field, apart from his fierce pace bowling, and he was seen in a similar fashion against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Tuesday at the MCA Stadium in Pune. The fast bowler leaped in joy after dismissing Ravichandran Ashwin, who was promoted to bat at No. 3 by RR.

RR got off to a poor start against RCB in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. They were down to 33/3 at the end of five overs, with three top-order batters, including the in-form Jos Buttler, returning to the pavilion.

The RR made a surprise promotion to send Ravichandran Ashwin to bat at No. 3 after Devdutt Padikkal’s departure. Ashwin started brilliantly, hitting two back-to-back boundaries off the opening two deliveries by Mohammed Siraj. In the following over of Siraj, the RR all-rounder did the same as well, clubbing Siraj a couple of fours in successive balls before the latter had the last laugh with the last ball of the fourth over.

It was short and just outside off stump, and Ashwin went to pull that. But it did not get the timing right, and the ball was lobbed straight up in the air. Siraj completed the catch off his own bowling and then celebrated the wicket by leaping in joy.

Here is the video of the dismissal from Mohammed Siraj:
