When the Indian national anthem was played at the Sydney Test, tears welled up in the eyes of young bowler Mohammad Siraj.


The Indian team suffered a crushing defeat in the first Test in Australia. Captain Virat Kohli has returned home with this match. Indian bowler Mohammad Shami has been forced to retire due to a hand injury sustained in the match. Another fast bowler Ishant Sharma was also ruled out due to injury while youngster Mohammed Siraj was given a chance.

His father, Mohammad Kaus, who was in Hyderabad the day after Siraj arrived in Australia, died of illness. Mohammed Kaus, an ordinary auto driver, has dedicated himself to his son's cricket career. One job in the morning and one job in the evening and another job at night and earned money for Mohammad Siraj's cricket coaching. He raised his son by saying, 'One day you will make the nation proud.' Mohammad Siraj was waiting for that day. However, Mohammad Siraj was unable to pay his last respects in person at his father's death.

Thus, Mohammed Siraj from Australia made his Test debut for India in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. Siraj also took the first Test wicket, beating Australian Marnus Labuschagne. Mohammad Siraj took 5 wickets for 77 runs in 36.3 overs in the Melbourne Test. 

This is the first time in the last 7 years that an Indian bowler has taken 5 wickets in his first Test match.

In this situation, Mohammed Siraj was included in the Indian team in the 3rd Test match which started in Sydney today. 

Before the match, the national anthems of both countries were played at the Sydney Stadium. Then, when the Indian National Anthem was played, tears flowed from the eyes of Mohammad Siraj. Unable to control himself, he burst into tears and covered his eyes with his hands. 

Cricket fans have been praising Mohammad Siraj's sense of commitment while playing in Australia, unable to even come to his father's funeral.
