Something completely unplanned..

Hyderabadi pacer Mohammed Siraj was shocked by the sudden turn of events. He initially thought the call from captain Suryakumar Yadav was a joke and never expected to play in the T20 World Cup.

For a year now

Siraj said no one can change destiny. He hadn't played a T20 since 2024 and was sure he wasn't in the World Cup squad, so he had accepted he wouldn't be playing.

No one can change it

Usually, a late replacement doesn't play. But with Bumrah unwell, Siraj got his chance. He seized it, taking 3/29 against the USA, proving it was all part of a divine plan.
