A Guy Is Getting Abused For No Reason At All – Mohammed Siraj
Speaking on the RCB podcast, Mohammed Siraj said the abuse on social media kills players’ motivation. Siraj said it is difficult to understand being praised one day and criticized the next day.
“It is easy to write abuses. But you don’t know anything about his struggle. How can you abuse someone, then? Those messages kill your motivation. A guy is getting abused for no reason at all. Why? What’s next? One day they call you the future of India, the next day, they claim you are nothing and should drive an auto. I don’t understand this,” Siraj said on RCB Podcast.
“When you perform well, people start praising you so much, You are such a good bowler, next level. When I was retained, it was called as best retention. Now they question why I was retained. There was no need for you to be retained. You aren’t good enough to play cricket,” he added.
