Siraj played for RCB in IPL from 2018 to 2024 and picked 87 wickets.
It was a short moment, but it had a significant impact, particularly in Bengaluru. Siraj was once a fan favorite here, and seeing him back at the Chinnaswamy, laughing with Kohli, brought back many memories.
Siraj approached Kohli shortly after the match concluded, caught him from behind, and hugged him. Kohli turned, grinned, and embraced him back. Nothing extravagant, simply a genuine moment between two players who have traveled a long distance together.
