 Indian cricketer and Telangana Police Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mohammed Siraj called on the Director General of Police (DGP) as per protocol.

Recalling Siraj's early years, the DGP said he had watched the fast bowler's progress from his days in tennis-ball cricket. He noted that during 2013-14, former Hyderabad cricketer and then selector Abdul Azeem had invited him to witness Siraj's talent firsthand.

Following that, Siraj was drafted into Hyderabad's two-day league cricket, before progressing to the three-day league in 2015. His exceptional pace and accuracy earned him a place in the Ranji Trophy squad. In the 2016-17 Ranji Trophy season, Siraj claimed 41 wickets, a performance that marked the beginning of his rapid rise in Indian cricket.

Describing Siraj's journey as an inspiring example of perseverance, the DGP said his rise to representing India across all formats of international cricket reflects how talent, discipline and hard work can overcome even the toughest challenges. He added that Siraj has consistently strengthened India's pace attack with his speed, intensity and remains one of Hyderabad's proud sporting icons.

The DGP congratulated Siraj on his achievements and wished him continued success and many more memorable performances in India's colours.
