Hitting it cleanly and right from the middle of his bat, Mohammad Siraj impressed everyone in the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) nets, including head coach Andy Flower, in a video posted by RCB on social media.
"Two sixes and now all of a sudden you are a batsman," Flower could be heard telling his fast bowler Siraj jokingly. "I tell you what, those were quality shots. Although if he went opening, he wouldn't get them pitched on the front foot so much; I don't think."
After ending his stint in the nets, Siraj had a bit of a banter with the teammates.
"Solah ki average hai, dekhte hain (I have an average of 16, let's see)," said Siraj when asked if the lofted shot above the covers is his favourite.
"Miyan bhai, kya khele ho bhai," Siraj's RCB teammate Mahipal Lomror said at the end of the video.
