[WATCH]: Ishan Kishan’s Funny Remark As Siraj Practices In Nets Before SRH vs GT Showdown

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) batter Ishan Kishan and Gujarat Titans (GT) pacer Mohammed Siraj shared a fun moment ahead of their IPL 2025 match. The two sides will meet in Match 19 on Sunday, April 6, at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

A day before the game, GT’s official X account shared a video of the duo joking around as Siraj took some swings in the nets. With Shubman Gill by his side, Ishan couldn’t help but throw in a cheeky comment during the session.

“Bhai chahe ball idhar ho ya udhar ho, pair idhar he hai.” [Whether the ball is outside off or on the leg side, he will just play a forward defensive shot in a straight line].

Later in the video, Ishan jokingly commented after watching Siraj play a shot:

“Timing galat hai.” [The timing is wrong].

To this, Siraj further responded:

“Maara nahi hai power se, warmup kar raha tha.” [I didn’t hit with power; I was just warming up].

Meanwhile, as Siraj hit a big shot, the SRH batter elaborated:

“Mein toh acha rate krta hi hoon but match mein thoda, meri bowling mai toh bhot mushkil hai, uska confidence down ho hi jata hai but batsman bhot acha hai (Siraj). Aur upar se hyderabad ka hi hai, local jagah pe hoon uske to mein jyada panga le nhi sakta hoon. Very good batsman.”

Ishan Kishan’s blazing start to IPL 2025 hits a rough patch

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) secured Ishan Kishan for INR 11.25 crore at the 2025 mega-auction. The 26-year-old started the season in style with a brilliant unbeaten 106 against Rajasthan Royals (RR). However, his form dipped sharply in the following three games, scoring just four runs in total.

With SRH struggling, both the team management and fans are hoping the left-hander bounces back soon to revive their campaign.
