The verified profile
Born in Hyderabad on 13 March 1994, Mohammed Siraj developed into a pace bowler through Hyderabad's domestic system before entering the IPL and India's three international formats. The public record reviewed here supports a career built on new-ball pace, swing, bounce and a willingness to attack in the powerplay. His major documented milestones include 41 wickets in nine matches in his second Ranji Trophy season, a 6/21 spell in the 2023 Asia Cup final, and a 2025 move to Gujarat Titans.
Factual references: Sources 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6How to read the player
Siraj's profile is best understood as a progression story rather than a single-season totals page. His format records should remain separated: the career-reference snapshot records 144 Test wickets, 77 ODI wickets, 17 T20I wickets and 128 IPL wickets as of 2026-10-22. The business record is also distinct from sporting performance: reliable reporting documents brand-ambassador engagements, but the reviewed sources do not establish ownership of a company, a foundation, salary, or net worth.

Background
Siraj was born in Hyderabad, Telangana, on 13 March 1994. The available career references describe a late start in serious cricket followed by a rapid rise through Hyderabad's domestic pathway. This profile keeps the background public and sport-specific, and does not add private-family, school, residence or health claims.
From Hyderabad cricket to India
The turning point was Hyderabad's 2015–16 Ranji Trophy season, when Siraj took 41 wickets in nine matches. He followed it with 23 wickets in seven Vijay Hazare Trophy matches, then moved through Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru before becoming an India regular across Tests, ODIs and T20Is. His international pace-bowling context can be read alongside Jasprit Bumrah.
International and IPL career
Siraj's international sequence is T20I debut in 2017, ODI debut in 2019 and Test debut in 2020. The documented career highlights include 13 wickets in India's 2020–21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign, 6/21 in the 2023 Asia Cup final and 14 wickets at the 2023 ODI World Cup. Gujarat Titans acquired him for the 2025 IPL season and their official player page lists him in the 2026 context; his former RCB connection is contextualised by the live Virat Kohli profile.
Playing style
Siraj is listed as a right-arm fast bowler who bats right-handed. Cricinfo describes a deceptive run-up, the ability to swing the ball into right-handers and a quick bouncer; the profile is strongest when he attacks early with pace and movement rather than being reduced to a single speed label.
Development and resilience
The sources support a gradual development arc: an unheralded domestic beginning, a quick IPL opportunity, an early international debut and a stronger Test breakthrough on the 2020–21 Australia tour. No unsupported injury, health or private setback narrative is included.
Endorsements and business record
The business record is limited to documented endorsements. Exchange4media reported on 28 October 2021 that My11Circle named Siraj a brand ambassador; ThePrint's ANI/SRV Media release dated 18 June 2021 documented his endorsement of BE O MAN's face and beard-care range. These are endorsement relationships, not proof of ownership. The reviewed sources do not establish a Siraj-owned company or foundation, so none is claimed.
