India emerged victorious over South Africa in a nail-biting T20 World Cup final on June 29, clinching a seven-run win. This historic victory marked India's second title win in the tournament and their first world title since 2011, making the nation proud.
The Indian players burst into jubilant celebration after the trophy victory, but Siraj, as revealed by Axar during an episode of the comedy series 'The Great Indian Kapil Show', faced a different problem.
"Siraj told everyone, 'Arre DK bhai ne mera English mei interview le liya. Itne saare log hain, sabko English aati hai. Hum dono ko hi kyu pakda English ke liye, pata nahi' (Dinesh Karthik took our interview in English; all others know English, then why did he catch hold of us I don't know)," narrated Axar.
When further asked by Kapil if he did give the interview in English, Axar revealed that while he still doesn't remember what he exactly told Karthik during the interaction, Siraj left the interview midway and ran away.
"Haan diya na, mujhe hi nahi pata mai kya bola. Siraj to aadha interview chhod ke bhaag gaya, bola 'meri jitni English thi khatam ho gayi hai' (yes, we did; but even I don't know what I said; Siraj left the interview in between saying that his English vocabulary finished)," said Axar.
