·         Siraj, son of an auto driver was born in Hyderabad. He was passionate towards cricket since his childhood.

·         But due to the lack of money, he was not able to join a cricket academy, unlike other fortunate cricketers who were brought up in such an academic environment.

·         Siraj’s father is an Auto driver who was following his god’s given work since 30 years. The whole family used to make their living only through his father’s income.

·         He was not interested in studies, and hence he made his passion as his profession but not a profession as his passion. Yes, he was passionate towards cricket since his childhood.

·         He was born in 1994, and till 2014 he used to play gully cricket with a tennis ball. Due to lack of money, he was not affluent to play except a tennis ball cricket.

·         Seeing his hard work and his immense dedication, he was selected into Hyderabad’s local cricket club which brought a change for him and which stood as a turning point in his career.

·         He was proving his worth in Hyderabad’s local cricket club and fortunately, he was called to be a player of ‘Hyderabad’s Under 23 team’. Seeing his skills, he was given a push as a frontline bowler within a less span of time.

·         Now, his career was perfectly turned when he got an opportunity to play a single Ranji match during 2015–2016, Although he was able to take a wicket during that opportunity. This is the time he realised that he had to focus a little more in his bowling. Yes, it did pay off.

·         Due to his determination and focus, he was given a chance again in next season of Ranji Trophy and yes by his hard work and by God’s grace he has proved his worth and he took 40+ wickets to his name. He said ‘this was only possible because of my captain’s belief and my coach’s help in shaping me up’

·         Proving his worth in Ranji Trophy, In 2017, he was eyed by Hyderabad’s IPL Franchise ‘Sunrisers’. been signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a whopping amount of Rs 2.60 crore, Now playing for Royal Challenger Bangalore in 2018 IPL
