Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) ahead of their next match of IPL 2023 against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, on Thursday. Former skipper Virat Kohli, along with current skipper Faf du Plessis, arrived in the city after their massive win over Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Sunday.
RCB, including Kohli, left for Mohammed Siraj’s new home at Film Nagar in Hyderabad on Monday night. In a video that went viral on social media, apart from Kohli, Du Plessis, Wayne Parnell and Kedar Jadhav, among others, were seen visiting Siraj at his new home.

RCB must win the match against SRH as they are currently at the 5th position in the IPL 2023 points table with 12 points. They will have to win the remaining two matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday and then against Gujarat Titans on Sunday to seal a place in the playoff stage.
Siraj is the highest wicket-taker for RCB in IPL 2023 so far, with 16 wickets in 12 matches at an average of 20.43. He took 1/10 against the Royals on Sunday, including the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck. RCB bowled out RR for 59 to register a massive 112-run win in Jaipur.
The Hyderabadi, who plays for RCB in the IPL, recently shared a touching story on an episode of ‘Breakfast With Champions’ about buying a new house and inviting his RCB teammates for a dinner party. Siraj, amidst his excitement, could not contain himself from extending a personal invitation to his teammate and cricket idol Virat Kohli.
He said in the video, “I told Virat Bhaiya that I am hosting a dinner at my house.” “are you going to come?”
Caught up in his excitement, he couldn’t help but call Kohli again to confirm the plan. To his surprise, the RCB star revealed that he was suffering from a stiff back and would prefer to rest. Little did Siraj know that destiny had a special surprise in store for him.
“I was sad but he finally made it up and gave me a surprise. I ran and hugged him. It was the biggest gift of my life,” said Siraj.
RCB skipper Du Plessis is the current holder of the Orange Cap with 631 runs to his name from 12 matches with 7 fifties. Kohli is the second highest run-getter for RCB this season with 438 runs to his name from 12 matches with 6 fifties.
