If I wanted to pray, who would stop me? At least I wouldn’t block anyone. What’s wrong with that? I will proudly say, I am a Muslim, I am an Indian.
Mohammad Shamir was one of the contributors behind India’s dominance in the recently concluded Cricket World Cup. Despite the loss to Australia in the final, everyone praised this pacer who took 24 wickets. However, during the World Cup, he was criticized for a different reason on the field.
After taking 5 wickets against Sri Lanka in the World Cup, he did not even kneel down on the field. Still, Shami is a victim of trolls. Although he did not say anything about the matter then, he replied now. He broke his silence.
Mohammad Shami said, if I want to pray, who would stop me? At least I wouldn’t block anyone. What’s wrong with that? I will proudly say, I am a Muslim, I am an Indian. People are saying on social media, I wanted to prostrate, but I didn’t. My question is have I ever done this in the field before in my life?
After Shamir’s reply, everything changed. Shami himself broke the mistake of many who raised questions about Shami.
He also said that he has taken five wickets in the match before. I did not prostrate at that time. But on the day when I have to prostrate, no one can stop me. Tell me where to do Sijda? I am ready to do it anywhere in India. In fact, I was on my knees after taking the fifth wicket that day due to exhaustion. It has no other meaning.
