Mohammad Siraj wreaked havoc on the Hyderabad team and the team could reach only 152 runs for 8 wickets. This bowler gave his team an early lead by taking the wickets of fierce openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head from the opposing team. He completely broke the back of the team's batting by taking the wickets of Aniket Verma and Simar Jeet.

The 31-year-old fast bowler was dropped from the team after the defeat in the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia. He was not included in India's Champions Trophy 2025 squad, which India won. Siraj also told what he went through after being dropped from the Indian team after the match, he said, "There was a time when I was not able to digest it, but I kept my spirits up and worked on my fitness and game. Whatever mistakes I was making, I worked on them and now I am enjoying my bowling,"
