India secured a massive victory in the fifth and final Test in Dharamsala with an innings and 64 runs, propelling hosts to a 4-1 series win over England.
In a video captured by one of the guests at the wedding, Hyderabad's very own speedster Siraj can be seen sitting along with his friends and enjoying the performance.
When you see him on the field, you know he gives his 100 per cent. We have seen this as a motivation for us as well. That works in his favour which puts him ahead of shami. He always goes for the wicket
The pacer became the first Indian and fourth overall to take four wickets in an over. With his sizzling show, Siraj served notice that he is the one to watch out for when India gets down to business in over two weeks' time when the World Cup kicks off in India.
Almost all the matches in the Sri Lankan leg of the Asia Cup were affected by rain. Even the final on Sunday had a delayed start because of wet outfield.
Mohammed Siraj bowled one of the most devastating spells by an Indian fast bowler, taking six for 21, as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 50. The visitors knocked off the runs in 6.1 overs without losing any wicket.
Jasprit Bumrah (5-1-23-1) started it all with a wicket off the third ball and then Siraj just ripped the opposition's batting lineup by taking four wickets in the fourth over alone.
After winning the toss, Sri Lanka found themselves in an embarrassing situation losing their first six wickets for 12 runs. Their innings ended in just 15.2 overs
After India's draw in the second Test against the West Indies in Trinidad, resulting in a 1-0 series triumph, Rohit Sharma's outstanding performances have propelled him to the ninth position in the batters' rankings. He achieved this feat with impressive scores of 80 and 57 in the match.
In 2022, Siraj was a pale shadow of his dominating present self, taking only nine wickets in 15 games at an economy rate of 10.08, apart from conceding 31 sixes in the league.
