Heartiest congratulations to the Indian Cricket Team and support staff for this fantastic achievement!" https://x.com/JayShah/status/1703399984316690665?s=20 Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh congratulated India and wrote, "Powerful performance Team INDIA @BCCI congratulations." https://x.com/harbhajan_singh/status/1703409472993902806?s=20 Coming to the match, after speedster, Mohammed Siraj's fiery spell decimated Sri Lanka, the opening duo of Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan's fifty-run partnership helped India lift the Asia Cup trophy for the 8th time in style after beating co-hosts in the final at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. Leading the India fast bowling effort, Siraj ran through the Sri Lanka top-order in a dazzling performance in the summit clash. It just took a little more than two hours for India to win their 8th Asia Cup title in style. Men in Blue lifted the Asia Cup trophy after five years. The Asia Cup summit clash witnessed a remarkable turn of events as Indian paceman Siraj bowled a dream spell against Sri Lanka. In a stunning display of bowling prowess, Sri Lanka was bowled out for a mere 50 runs in just 15.2 overs, predominantly due to Sirajs outstanding performance, claiming six wickets in seven overs.
