In these collection of pictures, we find out the reason why Team India pacer Mohammed Siraj refused to accept a special gift from England Cricket Board after winning the 'Player of the Match' award in Oval Test.
Mohammed Siraj refused to accept the bottle of Champagne gifted by ECB. Siraj was named 'Player of the Match' after the Oval Test.
Shubman Gill accepted his bottle of Champagne but didn't open it with the rest of the team as mark of respect for Siraj.
Mohammed Siraj didn't accept the bottle of Champagne because he is a devout Muslim. In Islam, alcohol consumption is generally forbidden (haram). This prohibition is based on interpretations of the Quran, the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (Hadith), and Islamic jurisprudence.
Mohammed Siraj went on Hajj pilgrimage this year as well before the IPL 2025 season.
Mohammed Siraj's whole family are strict followers of Islam, including his mother.
Mohammed Siraj celebrates all Indian festivals in a big way, including Diwali, which he often celebrates with his Team India teammates.
