Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj had a hilarious interaction with a young fan, who chatted with him about cricket in the upcoming Olympics. After the fan called Mohammed Siraj as the “best cricketer in India,” he hoped to see him play in “Paris Olympics 2029” despite the Indian player correcting the youngster about the next Olympic Games happening in 2028 in Los Angeles.
Notably, cricket will be making its return to the Olympics at the LA 2028 after featuring just once in the Games in 1900. During the Paris Olympics 128 years ago, Great Britain won the gold medal after defeating hosts France in a one-sided match.
In a short clip, which is gathering steam on the social media platform X, Mohammed Siraj was approached by a young fan, to chat with him about all things cricket. The fan complimented the Indian fast bowler before expressing his desire to have an interaction with Pat Cummins, the Australian Test and ODI captain.
After that, the youngster asked Mohammed Siraj about whether cricket will be a part of the “Paris Olympics 2029,” the Indian player tried to correct him. But the fan kept on continuing with the Olympics happening in five year’s time in Paris, which isn’t quite the case.
Here is the clip of a fan talking to Mohammed Siraj about Olympics:
Moments later, the fan thanked Mohammed Siraj for allowing him to record a video of their interaction, feeling grateful about getting the time to talk to him.
Moreover, Mohammed Siraj was a part of India’s limited overs tour to Sri Lanka. In the three-match T20I series, he picked up just one wicket, but at an economy of 6.77, while in the three-match ODI series, he took three wickets but conceded runs at 6.28 in tough conditions for batters.
