Mohammed Siraj was overlooked by the selectors despite Jasprit Bumrah being ruled out of the Champions Trophy due to injury. India went with Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, and Harshit Rana. It is worth noting that the Rohit Sharma-led team went unbeaten and lifted the Champions Trophy title.
The 31-year-old speedster, who had earlier picked up three wickets against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), was named Player of the Match for the second game in a row. He credited the presence of his family at his home ground for boosting his confidence.
I Was Not Able to Digest It - Mohammed Siraj
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Mohammed Siraj said that he couldn't digest missing the Champions Trophy squad. The Gujarat Titans pacer said that he focused on improving his fitness and mindset after the disappointment.
“I have played for seven years for RCB. I have worked hard on my bowling and also on my mindset, it is working well for me. At one time, I was not able to digest it (having not been picked for the Champions Trophy), but I kept my spirits up and worked on my fitness and game,” he added.
I Am Enjoying My Bowling - Mohammed Siraj
"Whatever mistakes I was making, I worked on those, and I am enjoying my bowling,” Siraj added.
"When you’re not selected (for the Indian team), it does cross your mind (if you are good enough). But I wanted to be ready for IPL. When you execute what you are trying to deliver, you stay at the top. When you move the ball both in and out and it works instinctively, it gives you a different feeling.”
