Team India pacer Mohammed Siraj received a thunderous welcome in Hyderabad on Friday, July 5, as he returned to his home city following the Men in Blue’s 2024 T20 World Cup triumph. A huge crowd gathered to cheer for the fast bowler, celebrating his contribution to the team’s success.
Upon reaching home, Siraj presented his 2024 T20 World Cup medal to his mother, Shabana Begum. He shared a heartfelt picture on his official Instagram handle, showing his mother proudly wearing the winner’s medal.
Siraj played a crucial role in India’s campaign, featuring in the playing XI for three matches at the T20 World Cup. He claimed one wicket and maintained an impressive economy rate of 5.18. However, the right-arm pacer lost his place to Kuldeep Yadav as the action moved to the West Indies for the Super 8 and knockout rounds.
India won an exciting final against South Africa by seven runs, becoming the first team to win the men’s T20 World Cup without losing a match. The victory has been celebrated across the country, with Siraj’s homecoming showing the pride and joy of fans and family.
