T20 World Cup: Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has once again become a part of the world winning team. He was first included in the Indian team that won the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 and after this also made a place in the team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. In this way Siraj became a part of the team that won the T20 World Cup for the second consecutive time.

Got a place in the team at the last moment

Interestingly, Siraj’s name was not in the initial squad for the 2026 World Cup. Later, he was included in the team in place of fast bowler Harshit Rana. During the tournament, he got a chance to play in only one match, but his contribution to the team’s victory came out in a different way.

Played an important role even while away from the field

In an interview given after winning the final, Siraj said that even though he did not get a chance to play many matches, the role of every member of the team is important. He told that the players who are not in the final eleven also bowl in the practice sessions, provide water to the players on the field and maintain the positive atmosphere of the team. According to him, this is also an important part of the team’s victory.

Interview given with Kuldeep Yadav

Spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav was also present along with Siraj in the interview given after the final. Kuldeep also did not get many opportunities in this tournament. Siraj said that it is not easy for any player to sit out, but when such a decision is taken because of the team combination and in the end the country wins the World Cup, then the happiness is the greatest.

The statement ‘Jassi Bhai’ had gone viral earlier also

Even before this, Siraj has been in the news for his statement given after the World Cup victory. After India’s victory in 2024, he had said that he has the most confidence in fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. His statement went viral on social media and was discussed among fans for a long time.

Said the team’s victory as the biggest

Siraj said that every player wants to get a chance to play on the field, but the real objective of the game is the victory of the team. He said that winning the World Cup is the biggest happiness for India and the entire team is feeling proud of this achievement.
