Gautam Adani called pacer Mohammed Siraj's bowling spell 'astounding'. Siraj took six wickets for 21 runs in 7 overs. The Indian pacer struck the Sri Lankan team very hard as he took four wickets in one over, destroying the top order completely.
The 29-year-old Siraj crossed the 50-wicket milestone in the course of his dream spell that saw him bag the fourth-best bowling figures in ODIs for India after Stuart Binny (6/4), Anil Kumble (6/12) and Jasprit Bumrah (6/19)
Siraj received $5000 for his courageous performance in the final, which India won by 10 wickets to win their eighth Asia Cup at the R Premadasa stadium.
Cricket enthusiasts took to X to point out a piece of history. It was on this very platform where users recalled an infamous moment from the 2000 Coca-Cola Champions Trophy final, specifically 23 years ago when team India was bundled out for 54 runs against Sri Lanka.
