Gujarat Titans on Fire! Siraj Removes Philip Salt Quickly
Mohammed Siraj delivered a huge blow by dismissing Philip Salt for 14 off 13 balls in a closely contested IPL 2025 match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). With RCB at 35/3 in 4.4 overs, the aggressive pace bowler clean bowled the aggressive opener.
Reputed to be aggressive, Salt attempted to retard GT's cautious fielding but ultimately couldn't. Siraj's standard pace and accuracy yielded a flawless delivery that ran shivers in the RCB camp and rooted out Salt's stumps.
RCB now looks towards Virat Kohli and other key batsmen to rebuild their innings as early wickets start to fall. The middle order has been under immense pressure to form a solid partnership and lead the team towards a decent total in light of the top order collapse.
In contrast, Gujarat Titans are fully in command, scoring at a run-a-ball rate and not allowing RCB to settle. Their bowlers have been wonderfully disciplined, which has prevented the opposition from getting any benefit out of the powerplay. GT will try to maintain the pressure and dismantle RCB's batting order even further considering the aid fast bowlers receive on flat tracks.
