After the game, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma expressed his admiration for the exceptional effort put in by India’s seamers. In particular, Rohit heaped praise upon Siraj, acknowledging his pivotal role in the team’s success.

“Such a performance we will cherish for a long time. I never thought it’s going to do that much. Comes down to the skillset of individuals. Siraj has to be given a lot of credit. Rare for seamers to move the ball in the air and off the pitch. He’s coming off age,” said Rohit at the post-match presentation.
