‘Aggression me koi kami nahi rahni chahiye miyaan’ – Twitter reacts as Mohammed Siraj jets down to London for WTC Final against Australia
Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj has embarked on his journey to England in preparation for the highly anticipated World Test Championship Final, set to take place on June 7. Siraj, a talented fast bowler, shared his excitement with fans by posting a picture from his plane seat on social media. The caption read, “Dxb to London. Let’s go #wtcfinal.”
Siraj joins the first batch of Indian stars who have already arrived in the UK for their second consecutive appearance in the WTC finals. The team, led by captain Rohit Sharma, includes a total of 10 players, along with the support crew and coach Rahul Dravid. Among the players scheduled to fly to the UK are Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, and Ravichandran Ashwin. Additionally, middle-order batter Cheteshwar Pujara, who is currently playing for the County side Sussex in England, will join the team later this week.
However, due to injuries, key players such as Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, and KL Rahul will be absent from the Indian squad for the one-off final against the Australian team. This has resulted in a reduced lineup for India as they strive to secure the coveted WTC championship.
The Indian team’s journey to this final has not been without obstacles. In the previous WTC final two years ago, they finished as runners-up to New Zealand. Furthermore, injuries have plagued the Indian squad in the lead-up to this year’s final. Despite these challenges, the team remains determined to emerge victorious and clinch their first World trophy since their triumph in the 2013 Champions Trophy in England.
Mohammed Siraj’s picture from his plane seat symbolizes the team’s eagerness and enthusiasm as they embark on this crucial journey. His presence, along with the talented lineup comprising players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja, will bolster India’s chances in their quest for the WTC championship. With a resilient and determined mindset, the Indian team is prepared to take on the resurgent Australian side in what promises to be a thrilling and closely contested final.
