In a moment that has struck a chord with fans across the cricketing world, Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj became the centre of a viral social media post shared by IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals. The tweet, which features a quote from Siraj about his mindset before a game, has gone viral for its simplicity and motivational tone.
“Woke up thinking, I’ll be the game changer. Googled an emoji for ‘believe’ and made it my wallpaper telling myself, I’m going to do it,” the post quoted Siraj, ending with the flexed biceps emoji 💪 — a universal symbol of strength and belief.
Accompanying the quote was a photo of Siraj in Indian whites, mid-celebration, overlaid with a mock Google search bar reading: “EMOJI FOR BELIEVE”. The post, credited to @rajasthanroyals, was praised by fans for its creativity and emotional relatability.
The Royals, known for their witty and heartfelt social media content, tapped into Siraj’s rising popularity, especially after his recent performances during the India tour of England. While Siraj has not officially commented on the viral post, his fans have flooded the internet with praise and messages of support, calling the quote “goosebump-worthy.”
The quote has also been widely shared among motivational pages and sports fan groups, as an example of mental resilience and self-belief in professional sport.
