Cricketer Mohammed Siraj trolled for tweeting on Pele, Heeraben Modi, “ignoring” Rishabh Pant
New Delhi: Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj was on Friday trolled and slammed by netizens for posting tweets on football great Pele and Heeraben Modi who passed away today while not posting any tweets on fellow teammate Rishabh Pant who was involved in a road accident earlier in the day.
Siraj in a tweet expressed condolences to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the passing away of his mother Heeraben Modi. Fans urged Siraj to write a tweet for Rishabh Pant wishing him quick recovery, but did not get any response.
Siraj later posted another tweet for former Brazilian footballer and all-time great of the game Pele who passed away due to cancer. Furious fans flooded Siraj’s comment section questioning why he had not posted any tweets, or messages for Rishabh Pant.
The 25-year-old Rishabh Pant dozed off and lost control of his Mercedes early morning on Friday en route to his home in Roorkee. He was alone in the car. The accident happened at Mohammadpur Jat in Manglaur town of Haridwar district. He suffered injuries on his head, back, and feet but is in stable condition.
Both Pant and Siraj share a friendly bond in the Indian dressing room and are often seen having funny banters on the field and in the dressing rooms.
My Heartfelt condolences to our Hon. Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji on the sad demise of his mother, Smt. Heeraben Modi ji. Sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace 🙏🏼
