Watch: Mohammed Siraj Does Ronaldo's Siu, Leaves Man United Players Laughing
Mohammed Siraj celebrated with Cristiano Ronaldo's Siu at Old Trafford as the Indian cricket team met Manchester United players. Mohammed Siraj's iteration of Cristiano Ronaldo's famous Siu (or Sui, as some write it) landed at the fabled Old Trafford on Sunday. As the Indian cricket team met the English football club's players at the ground on the sidelines of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, they swapped jerseys, shared tips, found common ground in pressures and tactics of the two sports, while also trying their hands at each other's roles. Rishabh Pant was seen explaining to one player how to squat and keep wickets, and Siraj tried to hit a few penalties. He connected one as well — although the United 'keeper was kind to him — nailing it into the bottom left corner and immediately celebrated it with the Siu, jumping, twisting and landing with his hands crossed in front of his body. He did it again later in the video, this time more for the camera. Watch it here: Siraj has been one of the most charismatic players in the Indian team when it comes to celebrations. He adopted the Siu a few years ago and routinely does in across formats and competitions, proudly declaring that he was Ronaldo's fan. Doing it at a place where CR7 broke through and came back as a legend was special. Meanwhile, spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who is a known Liverpool (United's historic rivals) fan, spoke with their head coach, Ruben Amorim, and even asked him about his tactics for the Red Devils this season. 'Ruben, I have been following him from Sporting and I asked him questions about the tactics, whether you going to stick with the 3-4-3 (formation) this season, and I had the chance to chat with (Mid-fielder) Casemiro about how I admire him as a player," Kuldeep said in the video Kuldeep could be in line to play the fourth Test between India and England at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, which is just around a kilometre away from United's stadium with the same name. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 17:05 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

I applied to over 600 jobs before pulling off my career switch. Here's how I did it.
Royal Siu, who lives near Los Angeles, quit his job as a pharmacist in 2023 with hopes of moving to a different part of the healthcare industry. The 29-year-old eventually landed a new role, which he started in April. Siu's search took nearly 18 months and involved applying to hundreds of jobs. The following has been edited for brevity and clarity. In my old job as a pharmacist, I was robbed at gunpoint. After that, I committed to moving into the biotech or pharmaceutical industry, which is where I'd always wanted to go anyway. I graduated with my PharmD during COVID, so there really weren't too many possibilities. When the robbery occurred, I had some years of working in the pharmacy under my belt, so I thought, let me go ahead and make the switch. At the end of September 2023, I quit my job. For the first few weeks, I relaxed and saw some friends. After that, I started my deep dive into the application process. I wanted to keep a job application tracker so that at the end, I could see how the overall journey was. My goal was to also use the tracker to see where I was slipping up, where my faults were, and how I could improve. I asked mentors and friends to look at my résumé and review my LinkedIn because I was doing a professional reset. I tried to network. I even reached out to my girlfriend's dad's cousin's husband, who worked at a company I was interested in. I did an informational interview with him, and he offered to reach out to people at his company. Around the time I'd done about 100 applications, I was like, "Oh, this is actually a lot more difficult than I thought it would be." It took 536 days and 688 applications, but I'm glad to say I finally made it and got a job. Completely blindsided It wasn't always easy. I had 236 rejections and didn't get a response or got ghosted on 449 of the applications. I had 15 screening calls with HR and 18 referrals for various jobs. I think one or two of those referrals got me to a screening. For application 594, I got an offer. It was for a company here in Southern California to be a quality-assurance technician. At the end of the first interview, they said they wanted to hire me. I had to do some paperwork and a drug test. I got a call back saying the drug test was good, and I had to give them my Social Security card. I suggested starting a week and a half later. A representative from the company said they would talk to the hiring manager and that I should hear back in a few days. I waited, but I didn't hear anything. I called and then called again a few days later, and I was told they had given the position to another person. I was completely blindsided. I'd already told my family I got the job, and I wanted to get clarity about what had happened. The thing the company told me was that they wanted someone to start earlier. I thought, "Why didn't they just tell me, 'Can you start on X day instead?'" After that happened, I took a little bit of a breather because I'd been in this cycle for such a long period. So, I took about two weeks off from applying. After that, I knew I still needed to find a job. Lingering in the back of my mind was the idea, "OK, this has to happen. I know that this is a setback, but I can't take more breaks." The thing that helped me keep going through all of this was a mixture of friends, family, and my girlfriend — the support group that I had. Also, I knew I had student loans to pay, things I want to do, and ideally, I want to retire by the time I'm in my early 40s. My girlfriend, Chelsea, and I have had this conversation, and she's on her way to retiring shortly before she's 40. So, essentially, we'll be DINKs. I'll be turning 30 in July. A few breakdowns I did have moments of doubt. I talked to Chelsea about it repeatedly. I said, "Hey, it's already been X amount of time, Y amount of applications." At that point, I was 400, 500, 600 in, and there was still no end in sight. At what point do I go back to being a pharmacist? I have had a few breakdowns to get through this entire thing. When I started my search, I didn't know if it was going to take two months or something longer. That uncertainty and those setbacks really took a mental toll. When I got the offer for the job I ultimately took, I got a call on a Friday from the hiring manager and I immediately said yes. I felt a mixture of relief and satisfaction knowing that I got to this point and that it was in the industry that I wanted to go into. To get out of pharmacy, it was worth it to go through this. But if I wanted to pivot into something else, I don't know if I have that in me. Do you have a story to share about your job hunt? Contact this reporter at tparadis@

So Edmonton: Riverhawks unveil green onion cake jerseys
The Edmonton Riverhawks will wear Green Onion Cakes jerseys this season. (Source: Edmonton Riverhawks) If you love green onion cakes and home runs, you should go to the baseball game on Saturday. The Green Onion Cakes – sorry, the Edmonton Riverhawks – will wear, well, green onion cake alternate jerseys. 'Inspired by local legend Siu, the Green Onion Cake Man, this delicious new alternate identity celebrates a dish that's as uniquely Edmonton as the Riverhawks themselves,' the team wrote online. 'From festival food tents and farmers' markets to Siu's iconic restaurant on 118th Avenue, green onion cakes have held a special place in the hearts of Edmontonian's for decades. Now, they're stepping up to the plate at RE/MAX Field too.' The jerseys will make their debut on Saturday, and of course, green onion cakes, like the food, will also be available. This weekend, the Riverhawks will also sell a green onion cake t-shirt made by Flannel Foxes, a local clothing company. The baseball team wore Talus Balls jerseys in 2023 and Silver City Dragons jerseys last year.
