SRH: Mohammad Siraj
He is the third highest wicket-taker in the 2016-17 Ranji season with 41 wickets at an average of 18.92. He has also been impressive during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He has been an asset for Hyderabad since very long and earned a spot the Rest of India and India A sides too. His performances deservingly brought him his first ever call up in the IPL at whopping price tag of Rs. 2.6 crores when he had a base price of Rs. 20 Lakh and will play for SunRisers Hyderabad this year.
His story is an inspiring one also because he has had extremely humble beginnings. He wants to make sure that with the success he gains over the years, his father does not have to go back to driving the auto ever again. He has a strong action and a deceptive bouncer under his belt. When Hyderabad resched the knock out of the Ranji for the first time since 2011-12, his nine wicket haul in the quartner finals against Mumbai was one of his memorable performances.
Though SunRisers have a steady bowling line-up with Mustafizur, Bhuvi, Nehra and Barinder Sran as their first preferences and Siraj will have to prove his worth in the exclusive opportunities he is provided with, he will earn a name and perhaps an international call-up if he utilizes this platform well.
