New Delhi: Team India pacer Mohammed Siraj has turned out to be one of the vital cogs of the Indian setup in recent times and is known for his lethal pace and wicket-taking abilities at crucial moments of the game. It is noteworthy that Siraj often brings forth his Cristiano Ronaldo-esque celebration after taking wickets and has finally revealed what’s the actual reason behind it.
He is currently with the national side battling it out for the coveted T20 World Cup 2024 trophy in the Americas. Siraj’s teammate Kuldeep Yadav, who’s another vital cog of the spin department, made the paceman reveal why he does the trademark celebration of the Portuguese football star. Not just this, Kuldeep also asked Siraj the universal question of who’s better between Lionel Messi and Ronaldo.
Siraj didn’t shy away from opening up on the same and said, “I only do the Ronaldo celebration when I get someone bowled, not for a catch or LBW. I do the Cristiano Ronaldo celebration because I like and admire him because of his work ethic, the routine that he follows, and the way he performs consistently. He always has a never-give-up attitude. His fitness and recovery, I like that kind of attitude.”
Messi or Ronaldo – Who’s the G.O.A.T.?
Kuldeep then asked him the universal question that still burns over the internet and ensues fan wars. “What about his comparison with Messi?” Kuldeep asked Siraj to which he replied, “Obviously Ronaldo is the best. GOAT, G.O.A.T., all the time.”
