‘DSP Mohammad Siraj reporting for duty’, Mian Bhai took over the police chair, seen in uniform for the first time

New Delhi. The lack of bowling in Ireland and then in England was keenly felt by the Indian team management as well as the fans. Whenever that player wears the Indian jersey, he appears in a different avatar, whether it is white or blue. We are talking about Mohammad Siraj. During the break from Team India, Siraj wore a colored jersey, the only difference was that this time he was seen on a different field.

‘Mian Bhai’ i.e. Mohammad Siraj, who used to uproot the stumps of batsmen with his fire-breathing balls on the Indian cricket field, is now seen in a new and very glorious avatar. Recently, after taking over as Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in Telangana Police, Siraj shared a picture of himself on social media, the caption of which won the hearts of every Indian ‘DSP Mohammed Siraj reporting for duty’.

‘DSP Mohammad Siraj reporting for duty’

Siraj, a speed merchant, may speak less but his body is speaking today. The caption line written by Siraj is not just about a captain or a player, but about the son who has touched the sky with his hard work. But the real feeling of the shine of this shining star came when the Indian team went on the tour of Ireland and England without him, where both the cricket fans and the team management felt the absence of Siraj keenly. When Khali Siraj’s ‘Miya Bhai Magic’ was on the field: Due to busy cricket schedule and workload management, Mohammed Siraj was rested from the limited overs series against Ireland and England. This decision of the Indian team management was certainly far-sighted, but it had to pay a heavy price on the field.

Powerplay-slog lacks edge

Siraj’s biggest strength is swinging the new ball both ways and taking wickets in the initial overs. In his absence, the Indian bowling attack looked ineffective in the powerplay. The opposing batsmen scored runs freely without any fear. Siraj not only takes wickets, but he also creates psychological pressure on the opposing team with his aggression. When runs were pouring in against Ireland on small grounds, the team was missing a bowler who could look the batsman in the eye and bowl the dot ball. In front of the strong batting of England, Indian bowlers failed to stop the runs in the last overs. Siraj’s lack of yorkers and precise line-length was felt in every over. Fans kept writing on social media that if Siraj had been there, he would have turned the match.

The journey from the son of an auto driver in Hyderabad to becoming a DSP.

This uniform of Siraj is not just a government post, but it is the biggest reward for his struggles. Born in an ordinary family of Hyderabad, Siraj’s father used to drive an auto. Coming out of poor days and becoming the main fast bowler of the Indian team and then reaching such a highly respectable post in the state police, seems like a film story. After playing an important role in the T20 World Cup victory, the Telangana government had honored him with this prestigious post and land. Mohammad Siraj has proved that he not only has the skill to swing the ball but also has the passion to serve the country. Even though he was not with the team on some tours and his absence troubled the team, but his return on the field is going to be a call again for the opposing teams. Now when he starts bowling, fans will see in him the image of a player as well as a responsible police officer of the country.
