Mohammed Siraj, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer, found himself in a bit of a pickle during their thrilling match against the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL). It was a clash filled with fiery moments and some unforgettable drama.

In the midst of the powerplay, when tensions were running high, DC’s wicketkeeper-batter, Phil Salt, decided to unleash his batting prowess. With sheer determination, Salt hammered Siraj for three consecutive boundaries, and two of them even soared over the boundary ropes. It was an impressive display of batting skill that left Siraj a tad bit frustrated. Unable to contain his emotions, Siraj couldn’t help but let his fiery spirit take over. He boldly marched towards Salt and didn’t hold back in expressing his discontent.

Even the ever-so-calm DC captain, David Warner, attempted to play the role of a peacemaker. However, he vented his frustrations toward Warner as well, leaving no one untouched by his fiery demeanor. This incident sparked a backlash from social media users, who found Siraj’s on-field outburst unnecessary and uncalled for. They took to roasting the bowler for his fiery behavior, which they felt was unbecoming of an athlete.
