Hyderabad fast bowler Mohammad Siraj on Monday was signed by hometown franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad for an exorbitant price of Rs 2.6 crore. Speaking to the press, he said, “I remember my first income playing cricket. It was a club match, and my maternal uncle was the captain of the team. I got 9 wickets for 20 odd runs in that 25 over game. My uncle was so happy he gave me Rs 500 as a prize. It was a great feeling. But today when the bid was raised to Rs 2.6 crore, I just went numb.” Siraj who hails from a lower-middle class family now plans on buying a house for his parents in Hyderabad.
