Siraj Confronts Holder in Lie Detector Test, Presses Him on Rihanna’s Number | Watch | Cricket News

Gujarat Titans pacer Mohammed Siraj played the role of an interrogator in a light-hearted social media video featuring teammate Jason Holder, with the franchise sharing a “lie detector” segment that quickly turned into a comic exchange. The clip showed Siraj, who is also known by the honorary title of DSP, pressing Holder with playful questions about his personal life, friendships, and recent online attention, giving fans a glimpse of the team’s off-field camaraderie during IPL 2026.

One of the most talked-about moments came when Siraj asked Holder whether he was friends with global pop star Rihanna and whether she would answer his call. Holder responded that he did not have her number, but the lie detector appeared to indicate otherwise, adding to the humor of the segment and drawing reactions from fans online. The exchange became the centerpiece of the franchise’s post, which was shared on social media as part of an ongoing entertainment series.

Siraj also asked Holder about his closest bond within the West Indies cricket circle. Holder said his best friend was Roston Chase, before joking that he had known him for “45 years” even though he is only 34, a remark that added to the casual, self-aware tone of the interaction. The conversation highlighted Holder’s easygoing personality and Siraj’s growing reputation as a fun presence in team content beyond his performances on the field.

The video also touched on social media reactions surrounding Holder after Gujarat Titans’ recent match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Holder acknowledged that he had noticed a surge in comments following that game, saying the most recent activity had come after the RCB clash. His remarks pointed to the attention he received after a contentious dismissal in the match, when he took a catch to remove RCB captain Rajat Patidar.

That dismissal sparked debate, with Virat Kohli seen in animated discussion with officials on the sidelines as questions were raised over the legitimacy of the catch. Despite the protests, Patidar was declared out, and Holder later became the subject of online trolling from some fans. The social media buzz around the incident remained in focus as Holder discussed the aftermath in the light-hearted interview.

The timing of the video comes as GT and RCB prepare for a high-stakes Qualifier 1 encounter, with both teams aiming to move one step closer to a second IPL title. RCB, who won their first IPL crown last year, and GT, champions in 2022, finished the league stage level on 18 points. However, RCB secured the top spot on the table thanks to a superior net run rate.

The franchise’s post blended humor, cricket, and social media culture, offering a promotional yet entertaining look at the players ahead of the knockout stage. Siraj’s teasing questions and Holder’s relaxed responses made the segment one of the more memorable team-produced clips of the season, adding to the buzz around Gujarat Titans’ campaign and their upcoming clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
