In the 19th match of IPL 2025, Gujarat defeated Hyderabad by 7 wickets at its home ground. In Gujarat’s victory, team captain Shubman Gill’s unbeaten half -century and Mohammad Siraj’s brilliant bowling played an important role. Gill did not hit a single six during his innings in the match and equaled Dravid’s record by scoring a consecutive half -century, while Siraj became the player of the match and said this after not being selected in the team for the Champions Trophy 2025.

Earlier, Siraj took 3 wickets for 19 runs in 4 overs against RCB and won the title. After winning the Player of the Match award against Hyderabad, when Siraj was asked if he was not selected in the Indian team for the Champions Trophy 2025, his reply was. In response to this, Siraj said that it is not so, but when you are out of the team, you think what was really happened. After being dropped from the team, I thought I would work on my weaknesses and come back. I was waiting for the IPL and wanted to do well here.
