India vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2023 Final: Rohit Sharma-led India lifted the Asia Cup 2023 trophy by crushing Sri Lanka by 10 wickets and 263 balls left. India's Mohammed Siraj bowled a magical spell of 7 overs during which he clinched 6 wickets and became the first Indian bowler to take 4 wickets in 1 over. Hardik Pandya ensured that the lower rung of Sri Lankan batters didn't stretch much and the whole team was back to the pavilion at a score of 50 runs.

It was a piece of cake for Ishan Kishan (23*) and Shubman Gill (27*). Rohit Sharma decided to skip the light of the easy victory and sent young Ishan Kishan in his place. Shubman Gill is already the top scorer in the tournament and he played like one.

With the help of 9 boundaries, young Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill took Team India to its 8th Asia Cup trophy after 5 years. 1. Catch of the Match- India's spinner Ravindra Jadeja was awarded the Catch of the Match award with prize money of $3,000.

2. Player of the Match- Without any doubt, Mohammed Siraj earned the Player of the Match award with prize money of $5,000. In a heart-touching gesture, Mohammed Siraj decided to dedicate his cash prize to the grounds staff of Colombo who did amazing work in the rain-disrupted tournament.

“No biryani here. Have been bowling well for a long time. Was missing the edges earlier.

But found them today. The wicket was seaming earlier, but there was swing today. Thought that I would bowl fuller because of the swing.

When there's good bonding between fast bowlers, it's helpful for the team. I was thinking it would be great if I could stop the boundary. My best spell.

This cash prize goes to the groundsmen. This tournament wouldn't have been possible without them," Mohammed Siraj said. 3.
