RCB bowling coach Adam Griffith said, “He (Siraj) is one of the best players in the world at the moment.” “Even in the last match where (around) 440 runs were scored, he gave away (only) 30 runs. Not only today, he has been bowling well throughout the tournament and even before that. We have seen how well he is bowling for India.
