Mohammad Siraj consigns Kyle Mayers to another duck

Mohammad Siraj has had the wood over swashbuckling Lucknow Super Giants opener Kyle Mayers in Indian Premier League 2023. The Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer has dismissed Mayers for a duck twice in the tournament, first at the Chinnaswamy and then in Lucknow.

Mayers trumpeted his arrival in the league with a magnificent knock of 73 against Delhi Capitals on April 1. The West Indian carried on in the same vein, scoring a fifty in the next match. However, Siraj consigned Mayers to his first IPL duck in LSG’s pulsating one-wicket win over RCB on April 10. An encore took place on May 1 as Siraj sent Mayers packing for a two-ball duck.

Siraj is in the middle of a prolific season. He is in the top five as far as top wicket-takers are concerned in the ongoing IPL 2023. He has picked up at least one wicket in each game for RCB so far with his penetrative pace.
