The striking contribution in India’s victory in the Asia Cup final came from fast bowler Mohammed Siraj who returned with six wickets to dismantle Sri Lanka’s top-order batters. There were enormous praises for Siraj in the wake of his record-breaking spell. Meanwhile, Indian bowler Deepak Chahar has also come out with high praises for Mohammed Siraj for his powerful bowling.

“I was watching the match, was at a practice. He bowled brilliantly. He has been bowling brilliantly since past year and so, that is why he is our number one bowler. We had not won a big tournament since long so its good we won the Asia Cup. It will give us huge boost heading into the WC,” Chahar told ANI in an interview.
