The autorickshaw driver’s father dreamed of becoming a cricketer. The Indian team will play even a test in a jersey. Right arm pacemaker Mohammad Siraj, who grew up in a poor family in Hyderabad, has served his purpose. However, his father Mohammad Ghaus could not see him. He left the world last November. Siraj’s childhood coach K told Anandabazar Indian media the story of the father-son struggle to make the dream come true. Sai Baba.
The 26-year-old made his testing debut against Australia in Melbourne on Saturday. It spread light on the white dress the first day. The fast pitcher has taken two wickets for 40 runs in an ODI and three T20I matches. Catch Cameron Green in the lbw after Shubhaman Gill caught Marnus Labushen on a square leg back.
Saibaba told Anandabazar after Siraj’s place in the Indian XI, “Ghaus handed me Siraj and told me that the boy could play at least one test for the country. I promised, I will do Siraj. Saturday is the day to meet my dreams I want everyone to bless (Siraj) Siraj should show that to be a cricketer, you don’t have to grow up with a golden spoon in your mouth.
Appreciating Siraj’s talent, Ghaus admitted him to a local cricket training ground. But due to poverty, she had to fight to make ends meet. At that moment, Sai Baba stepped forward. Organized free training for Siraj. Then fast forward. Siraj also tried playing ODI last year after wearing the India T20 jersey in 2016.
Ghaus saw it all with absolute satisfaction. But at the time of Boy’s Test debut, he is no longer alive. He died late last month of a complex lung disease. Siraj was then in Australia. The team’s leadership gave him the opportunity to return to the country. But Siraj wanted to honor his father as soon as he played in the Test India jersey, Saibaba said. “After his father’s sudden departure, he could have returned to the country if he wanted to. Dad was his best friend. He could guess what was going through his mind after losing him. But when he returned to the country, could he play this match? Not because he stayed in Australia, but because he has the opportunity to fulfill his father’s wishes.
Ghaus once drove a car all night and bought the boy a pair of shoes. After that shoe, Siraj took 5 wickets in the under-19 competition. There are more stories of these types of fights. So Saibaba’s expectation is that many more emerging cricketers will be inspired by the achievements of Siraj-Ghaus’ quest, Siraj’s story inspires everyone. I want younger cricketers to learn where they can go. “
