New Delhi: India pacer Mohammed Siraj says he was asked to “quit cricket and drive auto” with his father after a poor 2019 IPL season, making him think that his career was over. Siraj’s 7 wickets in 9 matches at an economy rate of nearly 10 reflected his franchise RCB’s disastrous 2019 outing. His worst performance came against KKR when he was hit for five sixes and 36 runs in 2. 2 overs, which included two beamers, forcing captain Virat Kohli to take him off.
“When I bowled those two beamers against KKR, people said ‘quit cricket and go back and drive autos with your father’,” Siraj told the RCB podcast. “There were so many such comments. People don’t see the struggle behind all this. But I remember when I first got selected how Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni) told me to not listen to people.
“You do well today and they’ll praise you and when you don’t, the same people will abuse you. Don’t ever take it seriously. And yes, the same people who trolled me then now say I’m the best. ”
