Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj couldn’t hold back his tears as he sang along to the Indian National anthem during Sidney test match earlier this month.
The 26 year old cricketer was seen tearing-up and wiping his face as the ‘Jana Gana Man’ started playing at the stadium, as fellow cricketer Jasprit Bumrah tried cheering him up.
The heartwarming moment was captured on camera as the Hyderabad player was filled with emotions during the anthem.
It was only his second test match for India, and was apparently overwhelmed by representing the country at such a big level, as sportspersons generally do.

We feel ya, Siraj – as we pretty much feel the same kind of emotions every time we hear the national anthem at our homes.
