Is Mohammed Siraj married, does he have a wife or girlfriend and what is his salary and net worth in 2023
Born on March 13, 1994, in Hyderabad, Telangana, Siraj’s journey from humble beginnings to international stardom is a testament to his unwavering passion for the sport. While Siraj is unmarried at the moment, he had revealed that he was engaged back in 2021. The details of his fiancee aren’t known though.
His father, Late Mohammed Ghouse, earned a living as an autorickshaw driver. Despite the financial challenges, young Siraj’s love for cricket burned brightly.
While his mother Shabana Begum has been seen praying rigorously during Siraj’s key innings highlights his determination to rise above his circumstances and achieve greatness in the sport was evident from an early age.
Siraj’s cricketing journey started with the Hyderabad State Team, where he played for the Under-16, Under-19, and Under-22 Cricket Teams. His debut for the Hyderabad State Team came in 2018 when he was just 23 years old.
While the cricketing world is well-acquainted with Siraj’s on-field heroics, his personal life has remained a topic of intrigue, especially regarding his marital status.

With over 3 million followers on Instagram, Mohammed Siraj enjoys substantial popularity on social media. While he frequently updates his fans about his cricketing endeavors, he keeps his personal life, including details about his fiancée, well-guarded.
However, life has not been without its challenges for Siraj. In 2020, he endured the heartbreaking loss of his father during the Australia tour. Instead of letting grief overcome him, Siraj used it as a driving force to excel in his cricketing career, showcasing his immense fortitude.
