Mohammed Siraj trolled on social media for "thanking Allah" after WC victory
New Delhi: As crores of Indian fans celebrated their second T20 World Cup victory after a long 17-year wait, hate took center stage on X (formerly Twitter) over players' religious expressions following India's T20 World Cup victory.
Following India's triumphant victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, a tweet highlighting the contrasting reactions to players' religious expressions has sparked significant conversation on social media.
The tweet, which has garnered considerable attention, read: "Virat Kohli thanked God for the victory. Bhakts: Yeyeyeye, True Sanatani. Siraj thanks Allah for the victory. Bhakts: Isme Allah kaha se aaya B$dk, mc.. This h@te is unreal."

The post reflects on the polarized responses of some netizens to expressions of faith by Indian cricket players Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj.
Kohli, who thanked God for the victory in his post-match comments, received widespread praise and was celebrated by many for his devotion, with several fans calling him a "True Sanatani."
In contrast, Mohammed Siraj's expression of gratitude to Allah for the victory elicited negative reactions from a section of social media users. Some responses questioned the relevance of his religious mention, displaying a stark difference in tone compared to the praise received by Kohli.
The tweets highlight the growing hate within young minds which can take center stage even in moments of national pride and unity. Many users condemned the apparent double standard, calling for respect and acceptance of all religious expressions.
