Asia Cup 2023 Final: Virat Kohli And Shubman Gill's Epic Reaction To Siraj's Sprint
The Asia Cup 2023 final between Sri Lanka and India was already charged with excitement, but it took an unexpected comedic turn that had spectators and players alike in splits. As Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first, they couldn’t have foreseen the hilarious episode that would follow, courtesy of Mohammed Siraj.
Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj unleashed a bowling onslaught that left the Sri Lankan batting order reeling. Siraj, in particular, was on fire, snatching a remarkable five-wicket haul within just four overs. His spell included an astonishing feat – picking up four wickets in a single over. It was a display of fast bowling mastery.
Amidst this whirlwind of wickets, an unexpected, light-hearted moment unfolded. Siraj, in the midst of his sensational over, found himself on the verge of a hattrick. The atmosphere was electric as he prepared to deliver the potentially historic ball.
The hat-trick ball arrived, and the tension was palpable. Siraj, his eyes locked on the batsman, sent down a full and straight delivery. The batter, Dhananjaya de Silva, managed to push it towards a vacant mid-on. The ball seemed destined for the boundary, setting the stage for a historic hat trick. However, there was a twist in the tale.
Mohammed Siraj, displaying remarkable enthusiasm and determination, sprinted after the ball in a desperate attempt to stop it from reaching the boundary. His full-fledged sprint, bordering on the athletic, was a sight to behold. As he dashed towards the ball, the slip cordon watched with bated breath.

In an unexpected turn of events, the ball emerged victorious in the race, crossing the boundary ropes. Siraj’s valiant effort, while impressive, couldn’t prevent the four runs. What was potentially a historic hattrick turned into an amusing chase that left everyone laughing.
What added to the comedic spectacle was the reaction of the Indian players, especially Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Shubman Gill. As they witnessed Siraj’s spirited sprint, their laughter echoed through the stadium. Their hearty amusement was a reflection of the camaraderie within the Indian team.
Cricket, often a high-pressure sport, occasionally serves up moments of light-heartedness like this one. Even in the heat of a crucial final, the players found time to enjoy the lighter side of the game.
