The pace sensation of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mohammed Siraj has caught the spotlight after smashing a few sixes during the practice session ahead of the clash against Rajasthan Royals in Sawai Mansingh Stadium at Jaipur.

Mohammed Siraj can go through any best batting line-up and can defend runs during the slog overs as well. Moreover, he often remained as the go-to man for Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis during the crunch stages of the game. However, the right-arm pacer has struck some monstrous sixes in the nets and was asked to open the innings.

But the head coach, Andy Flower had a hilarious convo with the Indian pacer as he asked, "Two sixes and all of a sudden you are a batsman?"

After that, Andy Flower was asked whether he would send Mohammed Siraj to open the innings to which he replied, "Well, I'll tell you what, those were quality shots. Although if he went opening, he wouldn't get them all pitched on the front foot so much, I don't think!"

IPL 2024 - Virat Kohli After losing the game against Lucknow Super Giants in their home venue, Faf du Plessis shared a few words during the post-match presentation, saying "Spot on (dropped catches cost us). Two very good players, Quinton de Kock when was on 25-30 and Nicholas Pooran was on 2, 60-65 extra runs, mistakes like that can cost you in the IPL.

It is the new action you haven't faced before, and if they have pace then you need time to get used to it (about Mayank Yadav). But his ability to control length and have accuracy is impressive."

Following that, the RCB skipper also claimed, "I didn't think we were very good with our bowling, especially in the powerplay, Maxwell brought it back and there were some pleasing signs in the death overs.

You need two guys to bat through and get a partnership which we were not able to do. We need the strong characters in the dressing room to put their hand up."
