＆Miyan Magic＊ in Hyderabad: Mohammed Siraj＊s fiery 4-fer vs SRH has fans buzzing over his 100-wicket milestone
Mohammed Siraj's sensational 4/17 against SRH not only sealed his 100th IPL wicket but also marked his best-ever figures 〞 and that too in his hometown, Hyderabad. Fans and teammates alike are hailing his fiery form and fresh start with Gujarat Titans.
Hyderabad was treated to a classic Mohammed Siraj performance on Sunday night. The Gujarat Titans pacer, affectionately called ※Miyan§ by fans, tore through the Sunrisers Hyderabad with a brilliant four-wicket spell that also saw Siraj cross a major personal milestone: 100 wickets in the IPL.
Siraj delivers his best bowling figures in his hometown.
Opening the bowling at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Siraj came out firing. He set his target right away by removing dangerous opener Travis Head early and then followed it up by sending back Abhishek Sharma, which was also his 100th wicket of the IPL.
He wasn＊t done yet. Siraj returned later in the innings to take out Heinrich Klaasen and Washington Sundar, wrapping up with impressive figures of 4 for 17.

A second user wrote, "So good for Siraj taking wickets with the new ball, also what's something to take away is to give your main options breaks from time to time. Had Siraj been playing, he wouldn't get the time to work on his game. Manage workload and we have more hope for Miyan Magic!"
SIRAJ!
