I suffered a lot… But I couldn’t do this alone; Mohammed Siraj spoke with pain
Mohammad Siraj said that he tried hard to take 5 wickets in the third ODI against Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan cricket team has arrived in India and participated in a three ODI series with the Indian team.
While India had won the first two matches of the series and clinched the series, the third and final ODI between the two teams was played in Kerala.
In this, Subman Gill scored 116 runs for the Indian team who won the toss and batted first, and Virat Kohli, who troubled the Sri Lankan players until the end, scored 166 runs in 110 balls.
After this, the first three players of the Sri Lankan team, who chased the Himalayan target of 391 runs to win, were unable to cope with the bowling of Mohammad Siraj and left after losing their wicket.
The Sri Lankan team was bowled out for just 73 runs and lost by a margin of 317 runs as all but three players in the Sri Lankan team lost their wickets without crossing a single digit run.
On behalf of the Indian team, Mohammad Siraj took 4 wickets, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammad Shami took 2 wickets each.
The Indian team created history by defeating the Sri Lankan team by 317 runs and won the ODI series completely with the score of 3-0.
In this situation, Mohammed Siraj, talking about this victory with the Sri Lankan team, said that he tried his best to capture five wickets in this match.
Speaking about this, Mohammad Siraj said, “I have never taken 5 wickets in a single match before so I tried hard to somehow take five wickets in this match. I tried to take five wickets as much as I could but I couldn’t take five wickets. The captain also wanted me to take five wickets and gave me more overs but it was not in our hands and I could not take five wickets in this match. The pitch was favorable for bowling and I took full advantage of it,” he said.
