India Won the Asia Cup 2023 Title
Mohammed Siraj earned the Man of the Match award in the final due to his remarkable performance, securing figures of 6/21. Notably, he took four wickets in a single over, a feat that ranks as the fourth-best by an Indian player in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj won the Man of the Match prize for his stupendous bowling performance against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final on Sunday but he dedicated the money to the groundstaff at Colombo.
The ground staff at the R Premadasa Stadium exhibited unwavering commitment by working tirelessly to ensure that the Asia Cup proceeded as scheduled, despite the region experiencing heavy rainfall. At one point, there were discussions about relocating the tournament away from Colombo due to the adverse weather conditions. However, the decision was made to continue in Colombo. To account for unforeseen weather disruptions, a reserve day was added for the final match after the India-Pakistan encounter was washed out by rain during the group stage.
Earlier in the day, the Asian Cricket Council and the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) offered a $50,000 cash reward for the country’s groundsmen and pitch curators at Colombo and Kandy.
Kuldeep Yadav has won the Man of the series Title in the Asia cup 2023. The amazing spinner Kuldeep Yadav who clinched 9 wickets in the tournament has won the player of the tournament award.
