At Mohali, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Punjab Kings comprehensively by the likes of Virat Kohli, Faf Du Plessis, and Mohammed Siraj in the IPL 2023. Mohammed Siraj changed the course of the match later single-handly by picking up 4 wickets and crushing Punjab’s batting line-up. He even displayed terrific fielding efforts to run out Harpreet Singh.
Mohammed Siraj’s direct hit during game 27 between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore caused Harpreet Singh Bhatia to run out of the field brilliantly.
He relished his time with the trader. Vijaykumar Vyshak threw a back-of-a-length delivery that was intended for the stumps. As he danced along the ground, Prabhsimran was able to push the ball in the direction of Mohammed Siraj, a midfielder off the field.
The non-striker Harpreet Singh Bhatia began to run down the track in the meantime, but the striker ordered him to turn around. It made it possible for Siraj to quickly pick up the ball, aim, and toss down the stumps.
Virat Kohli was in the frame when the ball struck the stumps, and he immediately started running and yelling in joy because he knew the batter had fallen short of his ground and had thus been run out. Mohammed Siraj, who had just finished the “Siiuuu,” joined him along with his teammates.

Although the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) total wasn’t particularly high, their bowlers rose to the occasion to help the team earn its third victory of the year.
Even though Virat Kohli (59 off 47 balls) and Faf du Plessis (84 off 56 balls) put on a 137-run opening stand against Punjab Kings on Thursday at the PCA Stadium in Mohali, RCB could only muster 174/4.
But the RCB bowlers, who were ably assisted by Mohammed Siraj (4/21), did their jobs well to lead their team to a victory by 24 runs. With 10 balls left in the innings, the Punjab Kings, again without their regular captain Shikhar Dhawan, were out for 150.
