Mohammed Siraj cried on the field after Australia defeated India in the ICC World Cup 2023 final.
He couldn’t control his tears and was consoled by fellow pacer Jasprit Bumrah. The young fast bowler shared three broken heart emojis, revealing his emotional status.
He was not given the opening spell for the first time in the World Cup by Rohit Sharma, as Mohammed Shami was preferred over him. Siraj, who is renowned for his swing at the start of the innings, couldn’t do much when he was brought on to bowl.
He bowled 7 overs and took 1 wicket while conceding 43 runs. Overall, he dismissed 14 batters at an average of 33.50 and an economy rate of 5.68 in 11 games.
There was no help for the bowlers after the first powerplay during Australia’s run chase of 241. The Men in Yellow lost just four wickets before completing the task and lifted their sixth World Cup trophy.
