The SUV Request for Mohammed Siraj
India’s Asia Cup 2023 final against Sri Lanka was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to Mohammed Siraj’s incredible performance. The fast bowler dismantled Sri Lanka’s batting lineup, claiming six wickets for just 21 runs, including a maiden over. His extraordinary spell earned him the Man of the Match title.
Celebrating Siraj’s achievement, Anand Mahindra tweeted:
“I don’t think I have EVER before felt my heart weep for our opponents….It’s as if we have unleashed a supernatural force upon them…@mdsirajofficial you are a Marvel Avenger…”

Siraj’s Gesture of Gratitude
Siraj made headlines not only for his stellar bowling but also for his generosity. He donated his Man of the Match cash prize of USD 5,000 to the Sri Lankan groundsmen, acknowledging their efforts in making the tournament possible. Reflecting on his performance, Siraj remarked:
“No biryani here. Have been bowling well for a while, just missing the edges earlier. Found them today. The wicket had swing, so I focused on bowling fuller. This cash prize goes to the groundsmen—this tournament wouldn’t have been possible without them.”
Anand Mahindra’s response and Siraj’s sportsmanship highlight the blend of humor, humility, and excellence that resonates with audiences.
