'Pack Your Bags And Come': Siraj Reveals Surya's Message On T20 WC Call Up
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: India pacer Mohammed Siraj revealed how a late-night message from T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav turned his quiet break after the Ranji Trophy into an unexpected World Cup call-up, culminating in a match-winning performance against the USA on Saturday night.
Siraj had just finished leading Hyderabad in back-to-back Ranji Trophy league games. He was planning a short break since his team failed to qualify for the knockouts. The fast bowler had arranged a trip to Madrid to watch a La Liga match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. After that, he intended to spend time with his family during Ramzan before the IPL. However, those plans changed suddenly when he received a message from Suryakumar.
“Miyan bag pack karke aaja’ (pack your bags and come),” Siraj recalled. “I told him not to mess with me. Then he messaged again and said he wasn’t joking and that I had to join the team.”
