Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modis 75th birthday on Wednesday, India pacer Mohammed Siraj lauded the support the team received from the countrys premier leader, irrespective of the on-field result. Siraj, who has become a key member of the Indian team in recent years, recalled how PM Modis words lifted the morale of the side after the 2023 ODI World Cup heartbreak against Australia in Ahmedabad. The Rohit Sharma-led side was denied their third title as Australia defeated the home side by six wickets to lift their record-extending sixth silverware in the format. PM Modi also applauded the team on a call after they won the T20 World Cup in Barbados last year, before hosting the side at his residence in New Delhi. In 2023, after our World Cup loss, Modi ji came to the dressing room & lifted our spirits with his words. A year later, when we won the T20 WC, he called to congratulate us.
