Giriraj produced a standout performance during a championship game where he took a five-wicket haul against a rival team from the Netherlands, cementing his place as a key player in his squad. His ability to deliver yorkers and change his bowling pace with deceptive cunning became his hallmark. These efforts saw him playing in various T20 leagues, becoming well-regarded for his match-winning capabilities with the ball.

A pivotal match in his career came during a final when his team faced off against an arch-rival. With the stakes high, Giriraj delivered a spellbinding performance, dismissing the opposition’s top order within the first few overs.
