Mohammed Siraj, T20 World Cup 2026 Final: T20 World Cup 2026 was very special for the Indian team. In almost every match, a new match winner emerged for the team and then it won the title by defeating New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Amidst this happiness, fast bowler Mohammad Siraj gave such a statement, which instantly went viral on social media. He gave a big statement on suddenly getting a chance in the T20 World Cup and then sitting out of the playing 11.
This statement of Siraj won the hearts of fans
Talking about this historic victory, Mohammad Siraj said, ‘Everything is the plan of God. I was not even in the team, God gave me a chance and made me the world champion.’ However, Siraj got a chance to play only one match in the tournament. The rest of the time he remained on the bench. When he was asked that being out of the playing 11 can be disappointing, but how important is the role of the player sitting on the bench, Siraj gave a very sweet and team-first answer.
Mohammad Siraj said, ‘Even sitting outside, the role is very big. Providing water, bowling in the nets, keeping the team environment good and always giving priority to the team. All these things contribute significantly to the success of the team. Team goal is more important than personal goal. This statement of Siraj is now becoming quite viral, because in winning a big tournament like the World Cup, not only the players on the field but also the support staff and bench players are equally responsible. Even while being outside, he encouraged the team, kept the atmosphere positive and never complained.
Mohammad Siraj played the match against USA
Mohammad Siraj got a chance to play in the very first match of the tournament. He was also India’s most successful bowler in that match.
