Mohammed Siraj's Popular Raksha Bandhan Video Featuring Asha Bhosle's Granddaughter Zanai Becomes Internet Sensation
Mohammed Siraj Shines in Narrow Victory at The Oval
Mohammed Siraj, the accomplished Indian fast bowler, claimed a stunning nine-wicket match haul in the fifth Test at The Oval, leading India to a narrow six-run victory over England. This triumph squared the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series 2-2.
The heartwarming performance earned Siraj the Player of the Match accolade, and he graciously acknowledged the praise from his former teammate, Virat Kohli, who wrote on social media platform X, "Siraj put everything on the line for the team." A photo of Kohli's signed last Test jersey framed at Siraj's home went viral, underlining the respect Siraj has for the former India captain.
During the post-match presentation, Siraj emphasized the word 'Believe' and his heartfelt reply to Kohli reflected this sentiment. Asaduddin Owaisi, a Lok Sabha member and AIMIM party president, also praised Siraj on X, sharing a GIF of Siraj celebrating a wicket and writing, "Always a winner @mdsirajofficial! As we say in Hyderabadi, poora khol diye Pasha!"
Off the field, Siraj celebrated Raksha Bandhan with Asha Bhosle's granddaughter, Zanai Bhosle, on August 9, 2025. Although there have been rumours of a romantic connection between the two, they have clarified that their relationship is brother-sister. Zanai Bhosle, who aspires to make a career in Bollywood as an actor, tied a rakhi on Siraj's wrist.
Despite the intense scrutiny that comes with being a high-profile athlete, Siraj's personal life remains largely private, and no credible sources provide information about his romantic relationships or connections with celebrities or their families.
With his impressive performances in international cricket, Mohammed Siraj continues to carve out a place for himself as a crucial member of the Indian cricket team. His dedication, talent, and humility have earned him the admiration of his peers, fans, and the cricket world at large.
Siraj's triumph at The Oval, while gaining tremendous applause in the sports realm, also sparked attention in pop-culture and entertainment circles. Virat Kohli and Asaduddin Owaisi, both known celebrities, showed their admiration for Siraj on social media platforms, demonstrating the widespread reverence for him across various domains, including sports and entertainment.
