Hyderabad, India – Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj recently found himself at the center of a social media buzz after his heartfelt reaction to a tweet by AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi went viral. The exchange followed Siraj’s exceptional performance in the final Test against England, where his five-wicket haul secured a thrilling six-run victory for India, leveling the series 2-2.
The Context: Siraj’s Heroics at The Oval
Mohammed Siraj was the undisputed hero for India in the deciding Test match at The Oval. His outstanding bowling performance, particularly his five-wicket haul in the second innings, was instrumental in turning the tide in India’s favor. Siraj finished the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series with 23 wickets, emerging as the top wicket-taker for India, and was rightly awarded the Player of the Match for his impactful showing in the final game.
Owaisi’s Hyderabadi Praise: “Poora Khol Diye Pasha!”
Following Siraj’s match-winning effort, Asaduddin Owaisi, a fellow Hyderabadi and a prominent political figure, took to X (formerly Twitter) to commend the pacer. In a tweet that quickly captured public attention, Owaisi wrote:
“Always a winner @mdsirajofficial! As we say in Hyderabadi, poora khol diye Pasha!”
The phrase “Poora khol diye Pasha!” is a colloquial Hyderabadi expression that loosely translates to “He ripped them apart!” or “He completely dominated/unleashed himself!” Owaisi’s use of this local idiom resonated strongly with cricket fans, especially those from Hyderabad, celebrating Siraj’s fierce and dominant display on the field.
Siraj’s Humble and Viral Response
Mohammed Siraj, known for his humble beginnings and dedication, responded to Owaisi’s tweet with gratitude. He quoted Owaisi’s tweet and simply wrote:
“Thank you so much sir Always cheering for me.”
This brief yet sincere reply from Siraj quickly went viral across social media platforms.
