In the 32nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Rajasthan Royals by 7 runs to continue their winning run. In the nail-biting thriller, RR failed to hold their nerves and lost the game. After scoring 189-9 while batting first RCB restricted RR to 182 at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, an on-field spat between RCB players left the internet in the split.
In the death overs of the game, RCB were hammered by RR and it was looking like they are going for a comfortable victory. However, the team planned to control the run flow to build the pressure. In between RR batter pushed a ball too deep and the throw from Mahipal Lomror didn’t stop them from stealing two quick runs. Star India pacer Mohammed Siraj failed to control his temper as he abused Lomror for his wide throw.
Meanwhile, in a recent video posted by RCB, it can be seen that Siraj has apologized to Lomoror after giving the youngster a mouthful during their team’s seven-run victory over Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. “I am so angry, man. Sorry. I have apologized to him twice already,” Siraj said in a video posted on RCB’s YouTube channel. “I don’t carry the aggression off the field. It all calms down post the match.” Lomror replied, “It’s alright, Siraj bhai. Such small things keep happening in such big matches.”
Mohammed Siraj leading RCB from the front
Star India pacer Mohammed Siraj is having a great time with the ball. He has been in exceptional form in recent times and has continued his dominance in the cash-rich league too. He has clinched 13 wickets in seven matches and is the leading wicket-taker for the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Meanwhile, RCB skipper Faf du Plessis is the leading run-getter of the season as he has scored 405 runs in seven matches at an average of 67.50. He is followed by CSK’s opener Devon Conway who has scored 314 runs in seven matches at an average of 52.33. RCB in their next game will face Kolkata Knight Riders at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru.
Here is how fans react to Mohammad Siraj’s apologies:

Itna aggression nehi chahiye Bhai fixed tournament ke liye

In RCB young talents can't perform bcz there is already an intimidating aura of Kohli, majority new players get under pressure bcz of that. Whole focus on Kohli and Siraj trying to imitate Kohli's aggression on top of existing pressure on them, will only make things worse
