This moment was only of mother and son.
Whenever the camera went to Siraj’s family, there was a feeling of pride and joy. Mother’s eyes were moist. Perhaps she was also thinking that how good it would be if her husband was by her side. Siraj’s mother was watching everything carefully sitting on the chair in front of the balcony of the corporate box. As the stadium reverberated with Siraj’s name, she was overwhelmed with emotion along with her sister sitting next to her. The railing of the grill was held tightly. She was silent even when others were engaged in conversation. She was oblivious to everything happening around her. As much as it was Siraj’s moment, it was also his. For a while it seemed that he was in his own world, where only son and mother were around.
Abbu was the biggest force
Anyway, if India could win the match then its biggest hero was Siraj. The match turned around by taking two wickets in a single over. Got four successes by giving only 46 runs in 10 overs bowling. Throw 2 over maidens as well. First New Zealand got off to a bad start and later made Mitchell Santner playing after scoring a half-century. By the way, the biggest hand behind this success of Mohammad Siraj is his father. Taking money from Abbu, he used to get Rs.60 worth of petrol in his two wheeler Bajaj Platina and used to reach practice. Siraj is currently India’s premier bowler, who plays all three formats. Siraj was on Australia tour in 2020-21, when his father passed away. He wanted to come back, but held himself and gave India a historic win in paternal grief. Returning back, he went straight to the grave and must have sat and talked, must have asked why he left so soon, you had to see all this.
