At 143.6 kph, the ball was fast enough to deceive the batter. The minor change in trajectory caught Salt off guard, and his off-stump was shattered. The atmosphere turned from ecstatic cheers to stunned silence as the realization hit the crowd.  Siraj capitalized on the moment by pulling off Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic “Siuu” celebration. The move not only electrified the stadium but also showcased Siraj’s passion and confidence.

Jos Buttler’s Relief

Earlier in the match, Jos Buttler had dropped an easy catch off Salt, a mistake that could have been costly for GT. Siraj’s breakthrough ensured that Salt’s presence wouldn’t haunt RCB for long, allowing Buttler to breathe easy.
