Siraj, Player of the Match: No biryani here. Have been bowling well since a long time. Was missing the edges earlier. But found them today. The wicket was seaming earlier, but there was swing today. Thought that I will bowl fuller because of the swing. When there's good bonding between fast bowlers, it's helpful for the team. I was thinking it would be great if I could stop the boundary. My best spell. This cash prize goes to the groundsmen. This tournament wouldn't have been possible without them.

Kuldeep, Player of the Series: From last one and a half years, been working on my rhythm. Being more aggressive through the crease. Loving my bowling. In T20s also the length matters a lot. It's about not thinking about wickets, just about the lengths. Have worked hard on that. Credit goes to Rohit bhai. He encouraged me to work on my speed. When fast bowlers give you couple of wickets in powerplay, it becomes easy for spinners.

Woke up to see match was already done missed the whole match …

For a sec I thought I got match final dates wrong

Shanaka: It was outstanding bowling display from Siraj. I thought it'll be a good pitch for batters, but overcast conditions played a part. Tough day for us at the office. We could've tightened our technique, would've helped batters to settle in and free their arms later. Lots of positives. The way Sadeera and Kusal batted against spin, Also the way Asalanka batted. These three will score heavily in good batting conditions in India. We know how to bounce back from tough situations. We came into the final beating good sides. It's a big plus. Players will continue good cricket from last couple of years. I would like to thank supporters who came in numbers. Sorry about the fact we disappointed you. Still thanks for the great support. And congrats to the Indian team.

Rohit collects the trophy, and hands it over to Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma as the team gets together to celebrate. What a performance to sign off with in this Asia Cup. They've made a huge statement ahead of the World Cup in a couple of weeks, but there's another series to go before that. Australia will be arriving for three ODIs, and that will be another good challenge for this bunch to gear up for the big event. Sri Lanka did well to qualify for another final, but were no match for this Indian team and for Siraj in this mood. They're much better than what they showed today though. Hopefully they can show that in the coming month

Siraj gave his prize money to groundsmen? Nice gesture

Sri Lanka ground staff have been handed a cheque of USD 50,000 for their outstanding work this tournament! National curator Godfrey Dabrare picks up the award.

Thank you Jay Shah

Ravindra Jadeja gets the award for Catch of the Match, for his smart take to dismiss Pathum
