It was a special feeling for a pumped up Mohammed Siraj to bowl in front of his family and the local crowd. That was enough to lift his spirits. The full house at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium witnessed a wonderful exhibition of fast bowling that blew away Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday.

In fact, a majority of the crowd would have not known whether they should support the home team or the local boy, who was representing Gujarat Titans. There was a hushed silence whenever a SRH wicket fell, but at the same time, there was huge applause for Siraj, who bowled with vengeance to devour the feared SRH batting and conquer the hearts of the people. Attacking the stumps, Siraj was brilliant in his execution.
