The racial abuse made me stronger - Mohammed Siraj

Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj was recently subjected to racial abuse during the 2020 Border Gavaskar Trophy. However, this did not demotivate Siraj. Instead, he answered in some style, picking up a 5 wicket haul in the 4th Test of the 4 match Test series. Siraj stated that the racial slur directed at him only made him more strong mentally. The 26 year old bowler was fielding near the boundary line on Day 3 of the 3rd Test. While fielding, the bowler heard racist chants from the spectators sitting nearby the boundary line.
