India’s World Cup-winning skipper Rohit Sharma recently handed over the T20 World Cup Champions ring to fast bowler Mohammed Siraj in a heartfelt gesture that resonated beyond just silverware. The pacer, who was instrumental in India’s early campaign in the USA during the 2024 T20 World Cup, missed the official “Naman Awards” function where the rest of the team received their commemorative rings. Rohit, however, ensured Siraj's contribution didn't go unacknowledged. Meeting Siraj personally, Rohit said, “He was due at the function and played a vital role in our T20 campaign. So I’m proudly presenting him a very special ring.” The two hugged warmly, and Siraj, visibly moved, wore the ring with a gleaming smile. The moment, captured on camera, sent fans into a frenzy online. ππ€π’ππ£π© π©π€ πΎπππ§ππ¨π π@mdsirajofficial receives a special ring from #TeamIndia Captain @ImRo45 for his impactful contributions in the team's victorious ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign π@Dream11 pic.twitter.com/dHSnS4mwu1 — BCCI (@BCCI) May 5, 2025 Read also: Mohammed Shami Gets Death Threat, Rs 1 Crore Ransom Demanded Siraj’s redemption arc and the showdown ahead Mohammed Siraj has had an eventful journey since the T20 World Cup. After missing selection for the Champions Trophy, questions were raised about his rhythm and form. But now, donning Gujarat Titans’ blue, the Hyderabad speedster has clawed his way back. With 14 wickets in 10 games this season, Siraj has found his mojo, bowling with venom and purpose. The ring from Rohit isn’t just a reward—it’s validation. Interestingly, earlier this season, Siraj dismissed Rohit Sharma during a clash, marking a personal high point. Rohit, too, has turned a corner since then. With 293 runs from 10 matches, the MI opener has found consistency and fire in his blade. As Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans prepare for a much-anticipated rematch on May 6 at Wankhede, the two World Cup warriors will face off again—this time as rivals, not comrades. Rohit’s classy gesture and Siraj’s gritty comeback script a deeper narrative—of respect, recognition, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
