Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj confirms engagement

The pacer said he was going through a tough period after his father’s (Mohammed Ghouse) demise in November. He wanted to come back to his family in the time of need but his mother and his fiancée stood by him and encouraged him.

Hyderabad: Indian cricketer from Hyderabad Mohammed Siraj, who picked up five wickets and played a key role in India’s stunning victory in the fourth Test at the Gabba in Brisbane and helped India clinch the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1, revealed that he got engaged last year.

Speaking to the media at his residence in Hyderabad on his arrival from Australia, the pacer said he was going through a tough period after his father’s (Mohammed Ghouse) demise in November. He wanted to come back to his family in the time of need but his mother and his fiancée stood by him and encouraged him. “It was difficult and mentally depressing for me. When I called home, they told me to fulfill my dad’s dream. My fiancée motivated me and my team supported me. I dedicated all my wickets in the tour to my father,” he said. He further added that his fiancé spoke to him about only cricket when he was feeling down during the Sydney Test where he faced racist remarks from the stands. The engagement took place in June last year and would get married soon, according to his friends.

Double Dhamaka

Siraj was in for a double delight on Saturday as businessman Anand Mahindra announced to gift Mahindra Thar SUV to six youngsters, including Siraj. Meanwhile, Siraj posted a video on his Instagram driving his new BMW car.

In a series of tweets, Mahindra announced that Siraj, Shubhamn Gill, N Natarajan, Navdeep Saini, Washington Sundar and Shardul Thkarur will be gifted. “Six young men made their debuts in the recent historic series #INDvAUS (Shardul’s 1 earlier appearance was short-lived due to injury)They’ve made it possible for future generations of youth in India to dream & Explore the Impossible. Theirs are true ‘Rise’ stories; overcoming daunting odds in the pursuit of excellence. They serve as an inspiration in all arenas of life. It gives me great personal pleasure to gift each of these debutants an All New THAR SUV on my own account—at no expense to the company. The reason for this gift is to exhort young people to believe in themselves & ‘Take the road less traveled.’ Bravo Mohammed, Shardul, Shubhman,Natarajan,Navdeep & Washington! I now plead with @Mahindra_Auto to get them their THARS on priority,” Anand Mahindra wrote.
