The fast bowler, known for his fiery spells on the field, decided to entertain off it by mimicking the batting stance of veteran South African star Faf du Plessis. It all happened during the training session ahead of their IPL 2025 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Siraj was spotted behind the nets copying Faf’s unique movements while he was batting. The clip, shared by Gujarat Titans on their social media handle, quickly grabbed fans' attention for all the right reasons.
