Indian fast bowler couldn’t even attend his father’s funeral

After a great performance at the IPL, Mohammad Siraj has been called up for the Indian team to tour Australia. The pacemaker is in quarantine with the rest of the team in Sydney. But there he received the worst news of his life. He lost his father.

On Friday, Siraj received the news of his father’s death from Indian coach Ravi Shastri and captain Virat Kohli. But he was unable to return home because he was quarantined with the team in the biological safety zone. As a result, he was unable to attend his father’s funeral.

Siraj’s father, Mohammad Ghaus, had been ill for a long time. The day before Siraj’s stellar performance at the IPL, he was being treated in a hospital in Hyderabad for a lung infection. There he died.

Siraj is said to be one of the inventions of the recently completed IPL. Pacemaker Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and chose to bat. Virat’s beloved ‘Mina’ gave two more maidens in a match against Kolkata Knight Riders at this year’s IPL, which is a record in IPL history. On the basis of that performance, he has been summoned for the Indian team to tour Australia.

However, Siraj has already made his debut with the Indian team. Meanwhile, he has played 1 ODI and 3 T20 matches for Man in Blue. On the day Siraj played brilliantly against Kolkata in the IPL, his father lay on a hospital bed and said: ‘Everybody says, your son is playing very well. It’s good not to see you everywhere on television, in magazines. ‘

His father Ghaus made no mistake trying to fulfill Siraj’s dream of becoming a cricketer. He has fulfilled his dream of becoming a cricketer by driving an autorickshaw. But Ghaus, 53, could not see the unfortunate boy’s success. Mourning the death of her father, Siraj said: “I lost the greatest support of my life. My father dreamed of seeing me play for the Indian team. I wanted it to make the country proud. I will definitely do it. ‘
