Mohammad Siraj took 3 wickets in the first match of T20 World Cup 2026. He was included in the squad only 24 hours before the tournament, as Harshit Rana was out due to injury. Siraj, who came to the press conference after the match, said that he knew that he would not play in the World Cup. But God changed the entire destiny. He told that when Suryakumar Yadav called him and told him about it, he considered it a joke.

Mohammad Siraj said, “I came to know only 24 hours ago and even when I was sitting in the flight, I was feeling as if it was a dream, because I had not thought that I would play in the World Cup. Planning was going on for a year, I was not playing T20, so I had understood that I will not play in this World Cup. But God changed the whole destiny. 24 hours ago, I was with my family. I got a message, ‘What is your next plan? Is it?’ So I said don’t bother me, I am resting. Then I got a call from Suryakumar Yadav.”

Siraj considered Suryakumar’s words a joke

Mohammed Siraj said, “I got a call from Suryakumar Yadav and he said ‘Mia, get ready and pack your bag and come’. I said Surya Bhai, don’t joke because this is not going to happen. Then he said ‘Mia, I am telling the truth, come.’ So this was shocking news for me. Whatever God has written, no one can change it. I not only joined the team but also played the match. God is great.”

Were you excited from within that you had to do something if you got a chance? Responding to this question, Siraj said, “The emotion is always there. As a player, when you are playing the World Cup, it is a different dream for a professional. So I thought that I have to do the same as I have been doing in Ranji. It was not easy to hit the new ball, so if I bowled wicket to wicket, I got wickets there too.”

Ms dhoni advice to mohammed siraj: Mohammad Siraj is one of the most powerful bowlers of Team India. In Test cricket, Siraj has been performing better for the team for a long time. But sometimes it happens that the bowler’s form deteriorates and people start trolling a lot as soon as the form deteriorates. At the same time, Mohammad Siraj recently revealed how to face these trollers, former Indian team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni gave him an advice. Dhoni gave this advice when Siraj was starting his international cricket career.

MS Dhoni’s ‘panacea method’

Talking to the Indian Express, India’s fast bowler Mohammad Siraj said that ‘I remember that when I came to the Indian team, MS Dhoni told me not to come in anyone’s words. When you do well, the whole world will be with you and when you spoil, this world will abuse you ‘. Mahi gave this advice to Mohammad Siraj in the early stages of his career.

Mohammad Siraj further said that ‘Yes, trolling is a bad thing. When you perform, then the fans and the world live with you and say that there is no other bowler like Siraj. If you do not perform in the next game, then the same people say what kind of bowler is this, go and go and run an auto with your father.

‘I don’t care’

Siraj further said, ‘What do you mean all these things. You become a hero in a match and become zero in the next. People change with so fast. I have decided that I do not need the opinion and consultation of the people outside. What does my team partner and my family think, it matters to me. I do not care what people are thinking ‘.
