Virat bhaiya hugged and consoled me when I was crying at my hotel room in Australia: Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj said he owes his career to his RCB and India captain Virat Kohli, adding that the skipper has stood by him in some of the toughest phases of his nascent cricket career.

India pacer Mohammed Siraj has attributed his growth in international cricket to the support he has been receiving from his India and Royal Challengers Bangalore captain, Virat Kohli. The Hyderabad pacer said Kohli has been standing by him through thick and thin of his career. Mohammed Siraj has evolved into one of India's leading pacers in red-ball cricket after a dream run in Australia earlier this year. From making his debut in the 2nd Test of the series to leading the attack in the final Test, Siraj grew in confidence during India's memorable series victory Down Under.
