The 1983 World Cup winner Kris Srikkanth has launched a scathing attack on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by saying they made Mohammed Siraj a “terrible” bowler during his stint in the Indian Premier League (IPL) between 2018 and 2024.
Siraj was one of RCB's best bowlers in their IPL history, with 83 wickets in 87 matches during his memorable seven-year stint before joining Gujarat Titans ahead of the 2025 season for a whopping INR 12.25 crore at the mega auction.
Now, the Indian pace becomes a completely different bowler. Recently, Kris Srikkanth has showered massive praise on Gujarat Titans for completely changing the careers of several Indian players in IPL 2026.
The former Indian chief selector also highlighted the incredible transformation of Siraj, who has become one of the most dangerous bowlers of this season.

After facing criticism during his time with the RCB, Siraj has now become one of GT’s biggest match-winners with the ball. His aggression, accuracy, and confidence have been impressing everyone since the 2025 season.
Siraj was terrible with RCB, but he is now a deadly bowler: Srikkanth
Mohammed Siraj has taken 13 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 8.22 for the Gujarat Titans in the ongoing IPL 2026. He also bowled most dot balls - 109 so far this season.
Kris Srikkanth said in a video on his YouTube channel, "Siraj was terrible with RCB. But here, he has become a deadly bowler."
Sai Sudarshan and Washington Sundar also improved in Gujarat Titans. Srikkanth feels the Gujarat Titans deserve huge credit because they have managed to bring the best out of these players who were struggling or not getting enough importance in other teams.
The former Indian captain noted that many teams may not have trusted Sai initially, but Gujarat Titans backed him strongly and helped him become one of the most reliable batters in the IPL. He gave credit to GT’s smart planning and player management for this massive difference.
"Similarly, no other team would have even taken Sai Sudarshan. Yet, GT has transformed him to a different level. They have made Washington Sundar score at No. 4 and turned him into a batting all-rounder."
The former Indian cricketer added, “They have a brilliant bowling lineup. And they still have Washington Sundar, whom they don't use only. Jason Holder doesn't even give 25 to 30 runs every match. He bowls brilliantly in the middle overs and takes wickets for them.”

I want to salute Sai Sudharsan: Kris Srikkanth
Meanwhile, Sai Sudharsan once again showed his class during Gujarat Titans’ massive win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Ahmedabad. On a difficult pitch, Sai played with maturity and calmness to completely change the game by playing a brilliant knock of 61 runs from just 44 balls.
Srikkanth was especially impressed with Sai’s cricket intelligence and awareness. He pointed out that the youngster always understands the match situation perfectly and adjusts his game according to the pitch conditions. That consistency has made him one of the dangerous batters this season.
He signed off by saying, “Sai Sudharsan assessed the wicket brilliantly. Immediately after two overs, he realized it wasn't a 200-wicket. He's not some flamboyant cricketer. But see how he scores almost every match across conditions. I want to salute Sai. I've not seen a player like him, adapting to conditions and playing very well. No one is talking about him despite his remarkable consistency this year. In fact, even his strike rate is very good. His game awareness and wicket awareness are exemplary.”
