Rohit Sharma’s hilarious reaction on loud crackers during press conference
In the final match of the Asia Cup 2023, India emerged victorious, crushing Sri Lanka by ten wickets. India’s Mohammad Siraj stole the spotlight with his exceptional performance, earning him the Player of the Match award.
After the match, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma addressed the press, humorously remarking on the firecrackers outside and asking the fans to burst the firecrackers after India’s World Cup win.
“Burst them after we win the World Cup.” The video of his lighthearted comment quickly went viral.
Coming to Siraj’s performance, he was awarded the Player of the Match, accompanied by a cash prize of $5000. In a heartwarming gesture, he dedicated the reward to the unsung heroes of cricket, the groundsmen. It emphasized a pivotal role groundmen play in making tournaments like the Asia Cup possible.
The Asia Cup, despite facing multiple rain interruptions during its 16th edition, was a testament to the dedication and hard work of the ground staff and curators. ACC President Jay Shah acknowledged their efforts by presenting big prize money to these essential individuals.
As the Asia Cup 2023 concludes on a high note, Indian cricket fans eagerly await the upcoming ODI World Cup, scheduled to commence on October 5, with England and New Zealand facing off in the opening match.
