Debutant India cricketer Mohammed Siraj became emotional as he stood with the Indian Team when the national anthem was being played in the 2nd T20 International against New Zealand in Rajkot. Twenty-three-year-old Mohammed Siraj became the talk of the town when reigning champions Sunrisers Hyderabad shelled out a whopping Rs 2.6 crore – almost 13 times his base price of 20 lakh– for him at the Indian Premier League auction in February. The son of an autorickshaw driver who triggered a bidding war at an auction that saw many established players go unsold, there naturally was a lot of hype surrounding the young pacer.,,But Siraj is still yet to get used to the attention around him. A shy individual, he is almost afraid to speak to the media, bewildered perhaps by his newfound fame and riches. However, you can see him beam each time a camera is aimed at him.,,Young Siraj was first noticed in 2015 during the Ranji season when he picked up 41 wickets in nine matches. Then came the auction in February this year, which changed everything.
