It was a bit emotional for me to leave RCB: Mohammed Siraj

RCB will be seen playing with a decent bowling line-up in the 18th edition of the cash-rich league. Bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya, Rasikh Dar Salam and others will be seen gracing RCB's bowling line-up. However, the Rajat Patidar-led team will definitely miss the services of Mohammed Siraj who is now a part of Gujarat Titans (GT). 

Siraj recently revealed how it felt after releasing by RCB and joining a new team. He said that it was emotional for him as Kohil had supported him a lot in his tough times while he was a part of RCB. However, he also admitted that GT have a fantastic team which will play under the captaincy of Shubman Gll.

“It’s a good feeling to join Gujarat ahead of the new season. Yeah, it was a bit emotional for me to leave RCB because Virat bhai had supported me a lot in tough times, but we have a fantastic team here under Gill,”
