For those who don’t know, Siraj comes from a very humble family. His father was an auto-rickshaw driver and his family used to live in a small two-room house in the narrow lanes of Khaja Nagar in Banjara Hills before shifting to some other place.
Talking about the match, RCB lost to SRH 5 runs. And with this win, SRH have consolidated their position at the top of the table. On the other hand, RCB are standing on the verge of elimination with just 3 wins in 10 matches. Besides RCB need to win their remaining four games, their fortune will also depend on the outcome of other matches.
