Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Mohammad Siraj appears to be a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo as he twice brought up Manchester United’s famous ‘Siu’ celebration against Punjab Kings in an IPL 2022 match on Sunday night.

With Punjab Kings in the chase of a mammoth 206 against RCB at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai, Siraj brought his team back into the competition with two wickets in hand. Bowling in the 14th over, the right-arm pacer first put an end to the threat of Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who scored 43 runs in 22 balls with the help of two fours and four sixes.
And on the next ball, he dismissed IPL debutant and India Under-19 World Cup winning star Raj Bawa for a first-ball duck. Every time, Siraj celebrated like Ronaldo after scoring a goal.

However, Siraj was quite expensive in the night, conceding 59 for two in his four overs as PBKS chased down the target with 208/5 in 19 overs, thus starting their IPL 2022 campaign with a five-wicket win. Of.
Faf du Plessis, who made his debut as the captain of RCB, however, defended his bowlers after the loss.
“There was a bit of dew, a tough night for the bowlers, but I thought that was good enough with the wet ball. Small margin, but he chased it really well. He had a really good powerplay. The ball skidded a little more in the second innings and then we pulled it back beautifully. We did a lot of good things in the middle,” du Plessis said during the post-match presentation.
