#8 Mohammed Siraj
In the previous edition of the IPL, Mohammed Siraj impressed one and all with his expertise in the variations of his pace bowling. Representing Sunrisers Hyderabad, he bowled some terrific spells that made him a hot pick in this year’s auction. Royal Challengers Bangalore claimed him this year and added to the pace battery.
His impressive run in the IPL, as well as domestic cricket, earned him a spot in the Indian national T20 team. Even though the few chances that he got so far haven’t been fruitful for him, yet these are early days for the youngster. Playing under Virat Kohli could well be the breakout year for Siraj.
