‘Virat said that difficult situation will make me stronger’, Mohammad Siraj said on not returning to India

Despite his father’s demise, Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj said captain Virat Kohli’s ‘becoming strong’ advice helped him a lot in preparation for a tough series against Australia. Kohli has also faced personal tragedy, carrying out professional responsibilities. Kohli died in 2007 during a Ranji Trophy match when he was a teenager but in 2007 he returned to the ground the next day to score a brilliant inning of 97 runs for Delhi.

Siraj’s father Mohammad Gaus died last week in Hyderabad due to lung disease. He was 53 years old. The Cricket Board of India (BCCI) gave Siraj the option to return home but the fast bowler decided to play for the national team. Twenty-six-year-old Siraj said here on the sidelines of the Indian team’s training session, “Virat Bhai said that Mian doesn’t take the stress and be strong.” Your father wanted you to play for India. So do it and don’t get stressed. ‘

He said, “The captain told me that if you can become strong in this situation then it will only help you.” These were the positive words of the Indian captain and he was very good to hear. ”In his early years as a cricketer, his father used to drive an autorickshaw and he has a great influence on this cricketer. He said, “This is a big loss for me because he was my biggest supporter.” He wanted me to shine for my country and I want to make his dreams come true now. ‘

Siraj also thanked his teammates for supporting him. He said, “I am thankful to my teammates that they supported me in this difficult time and took care of everything.” Siraj said that his mother also advised him not to return from the tour which started on 27 November The limited-overs will be contested with. He said, “Ammi said that one day everybody has to go.” Today your father is gone, tomorrow I can be. Do what your father wanted. Play for India. He may not be physically present but I can feel that he is always with me. ‘
