No one is taking his name: Mohammed Siraj finds redemption in IPL 2025 after being snubbed for IND white-ball squad

Siraj is determined to catch the selector's eye and make a strong case for his comeback. Chopra believes that Siraj has had a rough few months and now is the perfect opportunity for him to prove his worth once again.

"Mohammed Siraj, it's a huge opportunity for Miyan Magic because he has been left out in white-ball cricket. He wasn't there in the Champions Trophy squad. Why wasn't he there? No one is taking his name for T20s. Bengaluru also let him go. Mohammed Siraj has a great opportunity to make it back to the Indian team on the back of a fantastic IPL," Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

“Washington Sundar's stock has gone so low”

The former cricketer turned commentator further suggested it would be a crucial season for Washington Sundar, whose stock has decreased recently. Sundar was part of the Champions Trophy-winning squad but didn't get any opportunity in the XI.

"Washington Sundar's stock has gone so low. I don't know why. He was there in the Champions Trophy recently, but didn't play a single match. He is an ICC trophy winner but without playing a single match. He was with Hyderabad. He didn't used to get an opportunity there too," he said.

The right-arm spinner was also a steal for Gujarat Titans in the auction. They managed to sign him for INR 3.20 crore, and Chopra said that he could be the franchise's umbrella-man player.

"Here also he has been sold cheap. So he is slightly underrated. People are not giving him that much importance but he is a decent player in my opinion. He might not be a very good finisher, but can bowl in the powerplay and bat at the start. So he could be that umbrella-man kind of a player. It's a massive opportunity for Washington Sundar," Chopra added.
