The country has dearly missed Virat Kohli’s aggression on the cricket field ever since he decided to hang up his boots from the longest format of the sport. Indian fans then find solace in Mohammed Siraj, who, they believe, comes from the same school of “wear your heart on your sleeve” and was in the face of their opponents, just like Kohli. However, when Siraj broke into his characteristic “Suiii” celebrations after picking up a wicket on Day 3 of the fourth Test in Manchester against England, the viewers were… well, left red-faced. What Is “Suiii”? Suiii. The popular celebration is often seen on the football field where a player celebrates a goal by leaping into the air, performing a mid-air spin, and landing with arms outstretched, and shouting “Suiii”. The crowd joins the athlete and echoes “Suiii” to celebrate the goal triumph in unison. “Sui” in Portuguese means “yes”. The celebration is largely associated with footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, who has popularised and made the Suiii celebration a part of his routine every time he scores a goal. Ronaldo’s widely recognised signature goal celebration has been imitated globally by several athletes in other sports such as cricket, tennis, and golf. Siraj’s Suiii Siraj broke into the Suiii celebrations on Friday during the third day of the fourth Test when he cleaned up Chris Woakes on the first delivery of the 130th over of England’s first innings. What’s the catch, then? While Siraj’s heart might be in the right place to celebrate the deserved wicket, the animated “Suiii” performed by him after scalping Woakes may have made a few viewers chuckle a bit. Why? Because England were already leading India by a massive margin of 170 runs at the time of Siraj’s wicket, and will look to extend the lead on Saturday. The host captain Ben Stokes is going strong at 77, while England still have three wickets in their kitty. At stumps, England were 544 for 7. India, asked to bat first, posted a score of 358 in their first innings.

(@jod_insane) July 25, 2025 Woakes was the sole victim of Siraj on the day that belonged to England. The 31-year-old Indian pacer toiled hard for the wicket as he bowled 24 overs, giving away 113 runs at a 4.35 economy rate. England will look to take the game as further as they can from India’s reach on Saturday at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground. The hosts currently lead by a towering margin of 186 runs. As for India, they are currently 1-2 down in the five-match series.
