In RCB's last fixture against Rajasthan Royals (RR), Siraj was once again in top form with the white ball as his bowling heroics helped Bangalore get an important seven-run win over Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Sunday (April 23) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Siraj got the biggest breakthrough for RCB by dismissing Jos Buttler for zero in the first over, bowling an absolute jaffa to castle Buttler's stumps.
Meanwhile, a video went viral on social media in which Siraj can be seen fuming at his teammate Mahipal Lomror after a really bad throw from him denied Bangalore an easy run-out chance on 19th over's final delivery.
However, Siraj apologised multiple times to Lomor after RCB won the match.
"I am so angry man. Kya naam hain (What's his name) Mahipal, I'm so sorry. I have apologised twice already. I don't carry the aggression off the field. It's all calm down post-match," said Siraj in the video on RCB's social media account before humming to popular track 'Baby Calm Down.' 'It's all-right Siraj Bhai' Lomror replied.
