Meanwhile, Virat Kohli who was fielding at the slips was left in splits seeing Siraj chase the delivery to the boundary. Shubman Gill also had a smile on his face but it was Kohli who could not stop himself from laughing.

Siraj came back to dismiss Dasun Shanaka and Kusal Mendis to bag six wickets in the game. Still early days in the game, but India are looking favourites to win the match. India defeated Sri Lanka in their previous Super 4 game which was a low-scoring thriller. In the final, they now have a big foot forward.
