The way he comes at the middle / lower middle order and provides those stunning cameos and many times even match winning knocks have been quite evident in some of the MCA tournaments conducted over the last few years. Whether his quickfire half centuries and quick cameos in T20 Mumbai or that 69 ball 113 in U23 One Dayers, time and again, Sairaj makes a strong case for himself.
In the recently concluded T20 Salar Jung Tournament, Sairaj played from Islam Gymkhana team which went on to become the champions in the tournament.

The dominance mumbai team showed in the Vijay Hazare trophy was remarkable and which I personally took on myself that I should do that in every game I play as well so that reflected in my performance”

My mindset was to win every game for my team single handedly be a game changer and a match winner”
