Sri Lanka had won the toss earlier in the match and chose to bat, setting the stage for this thrilling contest.

Indian cricketer Mohammad Siraj is a big fan of Al Nasr’s Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo. He often celebrated with a zero jump like CRR seven when he got an opponent’s wicket. But teammate Mohammad Shami convinced him to do this. Siraj was interacting with Shami on BCCI TV. There, Shami asked Siraj, ‘Why do you do such a celebration after getting a wicket?’ Siraj replied, ‘I am a fan of Ronaldo. So I do it only when I bold someone. But I don’t do this celebration if someone gets out with a catch at fine leg or if a wicket comes in any other way.’

Then Shami said, ‘I want to give you a suggestion. There is nothing wrong with being a fan. But as a fast bowler, you have to stop jumping like that. Siraj laughed at his teammate’s suggestion. Both Shami and Siraj played a brilliant spell in the first ODI against Ajid. Both of them took 3 wickets each. They also talk about these things. When Siraj asked about success, Shami said, “There is no special plan behind success.”I came down to Mumbai with a very simple idea. Before the game, we decided that somehow we had to get off to a good start. And to bowl properly you have to hit every ball in the right place. It should be seen that we do not have a deficiency in balling at line length. He also told Siraj, “In Mumbai, we had to play in high temperatures in the first phase. But as the day progressed, the heat started to decrease. After bowling 40 overs in the last Test in Ahmedabad, I needed a couple of days of complete rest. After that rest, I came to play.

India opener Shubman Gill had a great January. As his reward, he was included in the list of 3 people of ICC Massera. Another national team star, Mohammad Siraj, is fighting with him. The other of the three is Devon Conway of New Zealand.
