India pacer Mohammed Siraj had a funny response when Arshdeep Singh pulled off the ‘Siuuu’ celebration during India’s T20 World Cup 2026 clash with Namibia. The celebration, which Siraj occasionally does himself, got here after Arshdeep dismissed Jan Frylinck within the match held on Thursday, February 12, at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
India, batting first, posted 209/9 with Ishan Kishan (61) and Hardik Pandya (52) hitting fifties. Arshdeep’s early strike set the tone, and India went on to win comfortably by 93 runs. On Friday, February 13, the BCCI shared a video showing Arshdeep jokingly asking if he had overstepped with the celebration, to which Siraj responded with a humorous reply.
“Zyada jump le liya.” [You jumped too high]
Nevertheless, Siraj also added:
“10 out of 10. But I’m shocked that Arshdeep celebrated like that.”
Later within the video, Arshdeep admitted that he jumped a bit of too high in excitement. The 27-year-old said he had planned the celebration earlier, but after freely giving just a few runs, he forgot. When he took a wicket, he remembered and carried out the celebration. He said:
“Siraj bhai has done it so over and over that he now knows exactly how one can do it and the way much to leap. It was my first time doing it, and I did it for Siraj bhai. In the joy, I jumped a bit an excessive amount of.”
”So I couldn’t maintain my balance and I almost stumbled. But I’ll learn from him and take a look at to do it higher next time. Otherwise, my usual one is tremendous. I just raise a finger and walk away. It takes less effort.”
“I had already planned to do the celebration, but after I began getting hit for runs, I barely forgot about it. Then after I took my first wicket, it suddenly got here back to me that I needed to have fun, so it got here out quite late,” he added.
