All through the Asia Cup, Mohammad Siraj ran hard, beat batters repeatedly and saw no edges and hence minimal rewards. God probably had better things in store for him. So, the Asia Cup final vs Sri Lanka it was, where he was chosen to dazzle. And how. By producing just the fourth instance of a bowler taking four wickets in an over and the first by an Indian. He added two more to his tally to finish with 6-21.
"Last time, against Sri Lanka in Trivandrum, I got the first four wickets, but could not get the fifth," Siraj told the official broadcasters in a snap interview after the Sri Lankan innings ended in 15.2 overs for 50.
