Mohammed Siraj: “God Had Written — Ja Hero Ban Ja Tu”
Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, speaking at The Indian Express’s Idea Exchange, recalled a defining moment during India’s Test series in England. Reflecting on the final day, Siraj said he felt as if destiny had already been written: “God had written, ‘Ja hero ban ja tu’ — become a hero.”
After earlier disappointments, including getting out at Lord’s, Siraj was determined to redeem himself. With just 35 runs needed for victory on the final day, he sensed it would end in an hour—and it did. He delivered a match-winning spell, sealing a memorable win for India.
Siraj credited his success to belief, self-confidence, and divine timing. From a humble background to becoming one of India’s leading bowlers, he said moments like these affirmed his journey.
The session offered a rare glimpse into the mindset of a cricketer who believes passion, hard work, and destiny can align at the right moment.
