WATCH: Siraj Prioritizes Playing For India, Tells Fans To Cheer For Country Instead Of RCB

In the recently concluded test match at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, India emerged victorious by 372 runs against New Zealand. The first test at Kanpur ended in a draw due to gritty & determined batting performance by the Kiwis but collapsed completely in the second test. Mohammad Siraj's tight bowling earned him a lot of praises from the fans & experts. 

A video of Mohammad Siraj has surfaced on the internet and is getting viral swiftly. In this video shot from the stands, fans in an attempt to cheer Siraj during the post-match presentation were ranting RCB's name. As soon as Siraj heard RCB, he turned around and signalled something to the fans. 

Siraj pointed towards 'Team India' on his jersey and implied that the fans should always cheer for India instead of his IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore. This displays the love for the country Siraj has in his heart. The 27-year-old pacer picked up 3 top order New Zealand wickets in the first innings of the 2nd test and broke their backbone.
