[VIDEO] "Ben Stokes gave me gali (abused me) so I told Virat bhai about that" : Mohammed Siraj

India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj revealed the reason behind the heated exchange between captain Virat Kohli and England allrounder Ben Stokes. The two cricketing stars were seen indulging in on-field conversation in the first session of Day 1 of the 4th Test between the two teams at Motera in Ahmedabad.

The umpires Nitin Menon and Virender Sharma intervened to separate the two players before things could escalate.

Siraj, who picked up two crucial wickets in the day, dismissing England captain Joe Root for 5 before Lunch, and then getting rid of Jonny Bairstow in the 2nd session.

Speaking after the day's play, Siraj explained what went down. "Ben Stokes gave me gali (abused me) so I told Virat bhai about that. Virat bhai handled it thereafter," the bowler said.

Meanwhile, speaking on his performance, Siraj revealed the plan that he discussed with skipper Kohli. "Wicket is a batting wicket. Plan was to have patience. And wait for the ball that might come in. Virat was saying since we have only two quicks, rotation was important. After bowling two overs, Virat said in the morning to replace Ishant at the other end. I was getting more movement there," Siraj said.

"In Australia, or in India, wherever I bowl, I want to put 100% effort to bowl. Every ball, I tell myself, 'bowl properly'," he further added.

India finished the day at 24/1 at stumps, trailing England by 181 runs, with Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara in the middle. Shubman Gill was dismissed by pacer James Anderson for a duck.

Maybe he was just telling Siraj his name? Massive confusion!
 
Man the world has become soft. Stop crying every second someone says something to you. Grow a pair and respond or ignore.

Too many cry babies showing up in sports.

Right. No need to snitch in an interview.

Lol.
He responded to the question.
 
He needs to learn how to deal with these situations alone.
 
Haha, that's cute in a child-like way. Perhaps Siraj isn't confident in his English to have a confrontation (though I haven't heard his English before, probably is decent, but I also think I heard that he was poor growing up so perhaps didn't have much of a chance of education), from my experience I'd definitely couldn't be as brazen as I wanted to be in Pothwari, and I'd be very, very meek when speaking Urdu.
 
It shows how much protective Kohli is towards youngsters. GOAT Asian captain by heart and by records.
 
"It is nice to see two (I & Virat Kohli) competitors going toe to toe against each other and no one is backing down. For me, that was it, two competitive guys trying to get over each other."
- Ben Stokes
 
I think there was misunderstanding due to language as Siraj don't know much about English

Its apart of the game and should always be allowed. People have become too soft. Sh*t talking is apart of game if you cant handle it you were never good enough.
 
Siraj needs a lesson in how to handle interviews. Dale Steyn and Siraj can get a couple discount :D
 
The video of the incident has now been added to the OP.
 
If Stokes starts to swing his left & right hooks kohli & co won’t stand a chance... better they live in there little Bollywood wannabe bubble.
 
LOL what is this softie, childish behavior? :sm

Even if he was abusing Siraj he should have just replied something in return instead of tattling on Stokes. I shudder to think how Siraj would have fared against the 2000s Australian side that practically spoke in abuses.

Also, the fact that he told Kohli, of all people is just so funny to me lmao :vk2

Who else will he go to other than his captain?

I was watching the incident. Siraj was going through a very good spell and was giving Stokes the stare after everytime he beat him. Stokes probably told Siraj to eff off and I don't think Siraj would've been proficient enough in english to give a reply.

These kind of things happen everytime on the field and isn't worthy of being reported. Worse, it may get the angle of a racist incident if it gets overblown by the media, which they're perfectly capable of. Also I think Siraj should be careful of not getting a name as a softie in the circuit. Opposition teams would use it as a ploy to sledge him if this continues.
 
Most Indian Muslim cricketers are softie expect Irfan and Zaheer. Even Shami is soft too.

In contrast, you look at our Muslim bollywood heroes and they completely suit to larger than life persona and toughness. They just don't get bothered about any criticism or controversy.

As an example, you can literally write a book of scandals, love affairs and controversy on Salman Khan but the guy just doesn't get bothered about that at all. Even Aamir was no good if you recall all his fiasco of Jessica Hines.

If this was any Muslim Indian cricketer, they would have started to think of suicide.
 
Kohli was doing it for the camera and home crowd.

PR stunts wont change the fact that he is averaging 26 in last 11 Innings.

11 Innings
Average 26.18

This streak of failure has hurt his legacy already.

I think you are going off topic here, why bring religion into this. The guy was a bit rattled, happens if you are a newbie he doesn't understand that this is banter.

Please leave all this nonsense for somewhere else cause it has no base.

Weird hypothesis based on one player. Religion has nothing to do with this.

Apart from Zaheer and Irfan, who are the famous Indian muslim cricketers we've had who have been "soft". I can think of Shami, Azhar, Munaf, Pataudi from the top of my head. How have these guys been "soft" in any manner?
 
Siraj looks like a softie.
But it's okay, the team is filled with sledgers one or two pujji types won't hurt.

What does religion have to do with it? :inti

Nothing. My comparison was not across religion but within religion.

Indian Muslim Cricketers v/s Indian Muslim bollywood heroes, just an analogy nothing else as such.

Heroes do act tough when they are with their bodyguards, know big politicians etc and that is true for both Hindu and Muslim celebrities. :inti
 
Didn’t Siraj also stopped the test match in Australia just recently and complained about the group of fans using abusive language?

Either he thinks everyone speaking English is talking against him or he just have a soft skin or he just doesn’t understand and complains.

India vs Australia: Mohammed Siraj called 'a bloody grub' by abusive Brisbane crowd

Mohammed Siraj was subjected to racial abuse by the spectators at the Sydney Cricket Ground in the third Test last week and was once again heckled at by the fans at the Gabba on Day 1 of the Brisbane Test.

No I just think its ironic that he went to Kohli considering Kohli is known for having an aggressive demeanor on-field. Kohli isn't someone who has shied away from abusing bowlers, other players or even the crowd in the heat of the battle, in the past.

If he wasn't proficient enough to reply then he should have just ignored it. As a fast-bowler you've got to have more of a thick skin. And I agree with you that reporting these kind of things just gives unnecessary media attention to something that isn't worth attention.

Racial abuse is different and should be called out at all times.

Abuse and swearing is all too common and shouldn't draw this kind of a reaction.
 
Siraj: Who are you?

Stokes: Ben Stokes

*siraj complains to Kohli
 
Stokes needs to be put in his place. In sports his sort of antics should either leave you unfazed or fire you up so your game is elevated. Imran Khan would be the former and Kohli would be the latter. Pick one. But you can’t react and succumb to it.
 
As long as the slurs were not racist or personal, then it is not a big deal. Siraj needs to toughen up as foul language is common in matches.
 
Siraj is still very much childish or u could say haven't matured. If u listen to his interviews which are in Hindi/Urdu/Hyderabadi slang u can clearly see the innocence and childishness in his interviews the way he talks.

Although skill wise he looks a complete bowler but he still has a long way to grow up and mature.

He is already 26 years old but sure acts as if he is still 21 from his body language the way he celebrated when Ashwin scored Hundred and his celebrations shows his innocence.

He needs to really grow and mature up especially when he will be put in high pressure situations which might effect him if he reacts in a same way as he did on Day 1 of 4th test match

He sounds little sheltered but that doesn't mean being soft. He just doesn't tolerate abuse of any kind.

That is why Kaptaan may be extra protective of him.

Pretty silly post, even though many Pakistanis here have (equally silly-ly) said the same about Indians and Hindus (in comparison to Pakistanis). Don't think you can make a correlation there at all. I think the points people make about Siraj being sheltered/immature/innocent make much more sense.
 
Whine, complain what you want till you get wickets at end of the day.

I remember a video in which Kohli visited Siraj house back in Hyderabad in some past IPL edition where u could see how siraj looks to Kohli as his big brother which can also be seen on field

I think what happened here was Siraj when gets in a tricky situation seems to look up to Kohli as his big brother to help him out which is what we saw on Day 1 I guess

This is the opposite of Pakistani cricketers who smile and grin when sledging is being done to them thinking the English/Aussie guy is just saying hello how are you :))

Pakistanis only sledge and show aggression towards each other on the media and PSL toxic rivalry matches
 
I like Siraj. Does not take any abuse and rightly so.
To all saying toughen up etc etc.. If someone abuses you on the road how would you react.

I play Grade 4 Cricket in Australia, and there is lot of banter. Like making fun of me sweating a lot and something about my hair. But that is fair.
But that is it, i have been abused and I have immediately stopped play and told the opposition captain and umpires that I would not take verbal abuse of any form. And That is how it should be.
For long we have been trying to normalise boys being boys..and tolerating abuse. And I am a Punjabi so I know a few choice abuses as well. But, it has no place on the cricket field.
 
If Siraj ever does this sort of thing again he should be forced to watch Shoaib Akhtar's youtube channel twice a day every day for the next six months. That will teach him the badmaashi,jazba, junoon and ability to give phentaa to the opposition.
 
What a little kid Siraj.

Grow up.
 
Maybe Virat Bhai should pay attention to his own batting rather than gallian of the opposition

===


The wicket marks only the second time in his career Kohli has been dismissed for zero twice in a series. The other was also against England.

And for Stokes, he has only two wickets this series but both of them have been Kohli.
 
Siraj needs a crash course. What he did is ok on the field. it doesn't matter whether he sledges back or he complains to his captain and on field upmires..whats wrong is mentioning this in interview.
Now he has seen Ben stokes just laughed it away on field.
Waiting to see Siraj come on to bat and Stokes ball :D

Erm he did not give "gaalis" to the opposition when he defended Siraj. There was nothing to indicate that he gave gaalis to Stokes.

I feel people simply assume that cricketers talk like two desis cussing in a foreign land on the field all the time.
 
Seems in another spat - with Phil Salt in IPL - Constantly abusing Salt as per some reports.

==

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer Mohammed Siraj was involved in a heated exchange with Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Phil Salt after he bowled a bouncer to the batter in the 50th match of IPL 2023. In the 5th over, Salt said something to Siraj after he bowled a bouncer. Siraj was quick to react and walked to the other end.

The duo got involved in a war of words, forcing the umpire's intervention. Siraj was seemingly asking Salt to shut up. David Warner also got involved and asked Siraj to go back. The right-arm pacer was in no mood to listen to his first IPL captain.

Faf du Plessis also walked towards Siraj after the umpire got involved. Siraj's action could lead to him getting fined after the match. Cricbuzz recently reported that RCB pay the fine for their players.

Seems to have some issues Siraj

==


Mohammed Siraj courted controversy on Day 2 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against Australia at The Oval when he threw the ball towards Steve Smith's direction in a bizarre incident. Smith started the day on 95 and was able to reach his century with two consecutive boundaries off the pacer's bowling. On the fourth ball of the over, Smith moved away from the stumps just before the ball was bowled due to some issue with the spider cam but Siraj went ahead and threw the ball straight. Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar was not pleased with the incident and he made his views clear on commentary.

"What is happening? I mean these are the second and third deliveries of the day,” Gavaskar remarked.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri also took Smith's side and said that he had “every right” to move away before the delivery was bowled.

"Steve Smith is just backing away. Didn't please Siraj but Smith had every right to move out of the way. It's more the frustration of Siraj being hit for two boundaries. He got sounded off by Rohit Sharma the previous ball,” Shastri said while discussing the incident.
