It also caught the attention of former India skipper Virat Kohli on the field and commentator Sunil Gavaskar. He humourously chimed in, saying, “Don’t forget that he’s a DSP now. I wonder if he was given a salute by the teammates.”

Siraj recently took on the role of Telangana’s Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), officially assuming the position after meeting with Telangana Director General of Police Jitender and other senior officials at the DGP office.
