Mohammed Siraj's sheer dominance against Sri Lanka

Team India wrapped up Sri Lanka for 50 runs in the finals of the 2023 Asia Cup and it was pacer Mohammed Siraj who picked up six wickets for just 21 runs and played an important in India's seventh Asia Cup win. Siraj, who is also the number three ranked ODI bowler has played an important role for the team in picking up early and has assisted Mohammed Shami brilliantly in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Siraj's performance can be very efficient for the Indian team considering the knockouts of the CWC 2023 and help them win 3rd 50 over World Cup title.
