Though Siraj featured in only three matches during the tournament and picked up one wicket, his efforts were recognised along with the rest of the squad that brought the T20 World Cup trophy home.
While handing over the ring, Rohit Sharma shared a heartfelt message: “This is for Mohammed Siraj. He played a vital role in our T20 campaign. So I’m proudly presenting him this very, very special ring which was made for all of us. Unfortunately, Siraj wasn’t there earlier, so I would like to present this to Mr. Siraj.”
The moment was filled with smiles and hugs as Siraj accepted the ring and struck celebratory poses, even calling himself a “champion”, proudly wearing the ring in front of cameras.
