Mohammed Siraj faces online hate after sharing Umrah photos

Indian right-arm fast pacer Mohammed Siraj shared a picture of his recent sacred journey to Saudi Arabia’s Makkah to perform Umrah.

The Hyderabadi bowler posted a touching photo of himself on his social media platform where he is seen dressed in a traditional Ihram attire in front of the Kaaba. He posted the image with the caption “Alhamdulillah” (praise be to God).

However, among well-wishers and fans showering and blessing him



with love, a disturbing wave of hate and communal trolling emerged under his post.

Mohammed Siraj’s image quickly garnered significant attention with 1.8 million users reacting by liking and engaging in comments.

However, he also faced online harassment and inflexing hate from right-wing accounts who dropped communal laced comments and phrases like “Katmullha” (circumcised), “Mullha“, calling him a “superstitious practitioner.”
