After going goalless at extra time, Ronaldo led Portugal’s penalty shootout by slotting a goal past Jan Oblak. The accurate finish from the Portuguese talisman resulted in a loud cheer from Siraj. He performed Ronaldo’s iconic ‘Siu’ celebration while saying, “Come on…yes boy!” The hilarious yet passionate video of Siraj’s celebration was shared in a now-expired Instagram story of Suryakumar Yadav.
Fans could not help but react to Siraj’s love for Ronaldo. One of them highlighted that both Siraj and Suryakumar were two big supporters of the Portuguese star. “Surya and Siraj are biggest fans of Ronaldo,” he wrote.
Another fan jokingly highlighted how Siraj had to wait 120 minutes for his celebration. “Bro waited 120 mins for this,” read the response.

“Siraj bhai living his dream life, first Asian Champion and now World Champion in T20,” commented another Instagram user.
