The final against Sri Lanka was played on September 17, and Mohammed Siraj’s six-wicket haul lit up the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. They were run out for only 50 runs, and India easily won the Asia Cup. Siraj also received the Player of the Match award, and after witnessing such a magnificent trick, the crowd went bonkers. Now, Umar’s tweet for Siraj has gotten all the attention.
Umar Akmal, a Pakistani cricketer, also sent Siraj a tweet of support with the following message: “You was amazing in finals @mdsirajofficial and congratulations team India @Indian Cricket Board #AsiaCup #INDvSL.” However, he made a grammatical error by using “was” with “you” instead of “were.” Fans took notice of that and expressed their opinions on social media.

Mohammed Siraj stated during the post-game awards ceremony, “I have been bowling well for a while. For the previous two games, the batters were getting destroyed; today, I found the edges. All I did was try to hit the targets. While the wicket was seaming in the previous two games, there was swing today, so I had the batters play as much as I could. I considered passing the balls to the batters since it was swinging. The strategy worked out just how I had planned it to.”
“(On the pitch) The pitch was excellent, was receiving a nice swing early on, and I thought it could have been a little moist. [On bowling with Bumrah and Pandya] The team benefits when the quick bowlers get along so well that pressure is created and wickets are taken at the other end. [On chasing the ball to prevent a four] The boundary was all I wanted to save, but it wasn’t to be. Without a doubt, my best spell,” he continued.
Siraj said that as a token of thanks, he would give the money to Sri Lanka’s groundskeepers. “I want to offer the groundskeepers this cash award. They are due it. This competition would not have been successful if they had not been present.”
Finals was you in amazing 👏
