Mohammed Siraj’s performance in last year’s IPL has helped him to get a call-up for Indian senior team as well. The lanky pacer made his India debut in a T20I against New Zealand in November last year. In this year’s auction, he was picked up by RCB for INR 1 crore. His family was living in a small two-room house in Khaja Nagar area of Banjara Hills before constructing a new house in Towli Chowki last year.
