Mohammed Siraj Age, Stats, Wickets, Teams and IPL Career

Who is Mohammed Siraj?

Mohammed Siraj is an Indian international right-arm fast bowler who represents Gujarat Titans in the IPL. His senior record spans Test, ODI and T20I cricket, while his domestic and franchise career supplies separate first-class and T20 figures. Those formats keep their own totals instead of being combined into a larger but misleading number.

Siraj's earlier IPL teams were Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. A roster entry proves membership, not match participation, while a match scorecard proves only the figures recorded in that match. His India and Gujarat records therefore retain separate match, run and wicket totals.

Mohammed Siraj age and playing style

Siraj was born in Hyderabad on 13 March 1994 and was 32 years old on 24 August 2026. Official BCCI, IPL and Gujarat pages classify him as a bowler. He bats right-handed and bowls right-arm fast.

Bowling speed, injury status and availability cannot be inferred from the fast-bowler label. BCCI's June 2026 notice, for example, said he was withdrawn from the Ireland and England T20I squads for workload-managed rest, while the later Sri Lanka announcement returned him to Test selection.

Hyderabad domestic rise

Siraj progressed through Hyderabad cricket before becoming an India international. His first-class snapshot dated 8 June 2026 stands at 91 matches and 316 wickets at 26.69, including best innings figures of 8 for 59. That domestic pathway provides wider red-ball context without turning first-class matches into international appearances.

The first-class row includes qualifying Test matches, so its 316 wickets cannot be added to the 140 Test wickets. The two figures describe overlapping scopes rather than separate career piles.

India debuts across three formats

Siraj became a senior India player across T20I, ODI and Test cricket. Each debut begins a separate international ledger: a T20I wicket never enters his ODI total, and an IPL appearance is not an international cap. The career timeline therefore names the formats independently and leaves exact match dates to the linked dated records where available.

On 28 July 2026, BCCI named Siraj in India's 15-player Test squad for the two-match Sri Lanka series. The announcement confirms selection after his June workload-managed rest, but squad membership alone does not prove that he appeared in either Test. A playing eleven or scorecard is required for an appearance claim.

BCCI then replaced the injured Jasprit Bumrah with Auqib Nabi on 3 August and the injured Sai Sudharsan with Sarfaraz Khan on 9 August. Siraj remained in the updated 15-player group. The original schedule placed the first Test at Galle from 15 to 19 August and the second at Colombo's SSC from 23 to 27 August. These replacements changed two squad places without changing Siraj's selection status.

As of 24 August, India had won the first Sri Lanka Test by 165 runs and the second Test was in progress in Colombo. The career totals above retain their earlier BCCI cutoff because a squad place and an unfinished match do not safely establish a new aggregate. Completed official scorecards are needed to confirm whether Siraj appeared and how any wickets affect his Test record.

Mohammed Siraj Test statistics

The official BCCI profile lists 46 Tests, 140 wickets at a bowling average of 29.74, best innings figures of 6 for 15 and best match figures of 9 for 190. It records five five-wicket hauls. The batting row lists 176 runs and a high score of 22.

These figures are a dated career snapshot. A later India Test can change matches, wickets and averages, while BCCI and ICC reports provide match-specific context. Selection in a squad does not change the row until an appearance is recorded.

First Test five-for at the Gabba

In January 2021, Siraj took his first Test five-wicket haul in Australia's second innings at the Gabba. ICC's match report recorded 5 for 73 and a match return of six wickets as India were set 328 to win. The achievement belongs to one Test and should not be confused with a career-best claim after later performances.

The match provides primary competition evidence for an early Test milestone. The figures, venue context and innings scope are more useful than unsupported claims about motivation or private circumstances. The five wickets are already contained in his career aggregate and are never added a second time.

Mohammed Siraj ODI statistics

Siraj's 8 June 2026 ODI snapshot lists 50 matches, 76 wickets at 25.32 and best bowling of 6 for 21. It records one five-wicket haul. His batting line contains 57 runs and a high score of 9 not out, reflecting his primary role as a bowler.

The 6 for 21 is connected to the Asia Cup final, while the 76-wicket number represents the full official ODI row. A tournament performance and a career aggregate answer different questions, so one event should not be mistaken for the entire career record.

Asia Cup final 6 for 21

Siraj took 6 for 21 against Sri Lanka in the 2023 Asia Cup final. ICC reported that his spell helped dismiss Sri Lanka for 50 and India won the tournament. The figures remain his best ODI analysis in the 8 June 2026 structured table and account for the single ODI five-wicket haul shown there.

The official match report supports the opponent, figures, tournament stage and team result. A final-winning spell does not establish financial value or guarantee later selection, and the six wickets remain part of rather than an addition to his ODI career aggregate.

T20I and first-class records

The 8 June 2026 snapshot lists 17 T20Is and 17 wickets at 28.29, with best figures of 4 for 17. It separately lists 91 first-class matches, 316 wickets at 26.69 and ten five-wicket hauls. These rows cover different levels and cannot be added into a meaningful combined total.

A T20I is an international twenty-over match; an IPL game is domestic franchise T20 cricket. Both may sit inside a player's broader T20 record, but their official competition totals remain separate. That prevents an IPL wicket from appearing as an India wicket.

IPL career before Gujarat Titans

Siraj represented Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru before joining Gujarat Titans. His IPL history includes seasons with very different workloads and results, so the completed official career table gives more context than a single peak match or franchise period.

The earlier teams remain career history rather than current roster claims. Their season wickets already sit inside the official IPL aggregate and should not be manually added again from secondary pages.

Two maiden overs in one IPL match

Official IPL coverage records that Siraj became the first bowler to deliver two maiden overs in an IPL match, doing so for Bengaluru against Kolkata in 2020. This is a match and tournament record tied to that performance, not a general claim that every over in the spell was scoreless.

Records can be superseded or reclassified, so the wording remains tied to the official competition account and its historical context. The 2020 record is part of his Bengaluru period, while current franchise figures come from the completed Gujarat table.

What does Mohammed Siraj's ₹12.25 crore IPL figure mean?

Gujarat signed Siraj for ₹12.25 crore at the IPL 2025 auction, and the official 2026 squad document lists the same 1,225-lakh salary-cap deduction. The IPL and Gujarat directories confirm his continuing squad place.

That competition figure does not establish Siraj's net worth, annual take-home pay, endorsement income or assets. Tax, payment terms and private finances are not disclosed by a squad sheet, so the dependable public claim is the ₹12.25 crore IPL amount with its contract scope stated clearly.

Gujarat seasons in 2025 and 2026

Gujarat's official profile records 15 wickets from 15 matches in 2025, including best bowling of 4 for 17. The completed 2026 row lists 17 matches and 19 wickets. Keeping both seasons visible shows changing output without implying that contract price mechanically determines wickets.

The IPL video archive also lists Siraj as the 2026 Green Dot Balls winner, an official tournament award tied to dot-ball output. Awards, wickets and economy are separate measures, and an award label should not be converted into an invented career statistic.

A 3 for 26 contribution against Chennai Super Kings

In Gujarat's final league-stage match against Chennai, the official scorecard records Siraj taking 3 for 26. Kagiso Rabada and Rashid Khan also claimed three wickets as Chennai were dismissed for 140. The scorecard therefore supports Siraj's spell while making clear that the bowling result was shared.

The 3 for 26 belongs to one completed scorecard and does not replace the full-season total of 19 wickets. The match spell and season aggregate answer different questions and should not be added together.

Mohammed Siraj IPL career statistics

Gujarat's completed official profile lists 125 IPL matches, 128 wickets, best bowling of 4 for 17, a bowling average of 30.22 and economy of 8.77 through 2026. The batting side lists 117 runs. The 2026 contribution of 19 wickets is already included in those career totals.

IPL figures remain separate from Test, ODI, T20I and first-class rows. The league and franchise records used here cover the completed 2026 season, and no cross-format sum is presented as a career total.

What is publicly established about Mohammed Siraj's private life?

Official cricket records do not provide a sufficiently complete and relevant account of Siraj's relationships or private family life. Celebrity-site claims are therefore not dependable additions to his playing record.

The Oval: nine wickets for 190 runs

BCCI's official career record lists nine wickets for 190 runs as Siraj's best Test match figures. That return came in the fifth Test against England at The Oval in August 2025, where India defended 374 and won by six runs to level the five-match series 2-2.

During England's first innings, ICC records Siraj taking four key wickets as the hosts reached 247 and led by 23 runs. The second innings ended at 367, six short of the target, after England lost its last seven wickets for 66 runs. The BCCI best-match line combines his work across those two innings; it does not describe a single nine-wicket spell.

The final morning began with England needing 35 runs and India needing four wickets. ICC's report records Siraj removing Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton before bowling Gus Atkinson for the last wicket. Prasidh Krishna took the other dismissal, bowling Josh Tongue. The match return is already included in Siraj's 140-wicket Test total. It should not be added again, and the six-run result remains a team win supported by contributions across both innings.
