Cricket / Gautam gambhir statement on Mohammed Siraj should have got the Player of Series award

Gautam Gambhir: Former Team India cricketer Gautam Gambhir believes that fast bowler Mohammad Siraj, who took the most wickets in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, should have been chosen as the 'Man of the Series' along with Virat Kohli. India registered a resounding 317-run victory in the third and final ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday, with Siraj taking four wickets to complete the 3-0 series win.

Gautam Gambhir got angry after this player of Team India did not get 'Man of the Series'

Mohammad Siraj took two wickets in the first ODI in Guwahati and three wickets in the next match in Kolkata. Gautam Gambhir said, 'Mohammed Siraj was equal to Virat Kohli. Should have been a joint 'Man of the Series'. He was an exceptional bowler and bowled exceptionally well on suitable batting pitches. I know you always go for man of the series awards to batsmen, but Siraj was absolutely exceptional, he was getting better in every match.

Allegations of favoritism!

Gautam Gambhir told Star Sports, "Mohammed Siraj is the player of the future and after every series, Mohammed Siraj is getting better." Kohli, on the other hand, put in a stellar performance in the last ODI as he scored an unbeaten 166 off 110 balls, his 46th ODI century and 21st in ODIs at home, taking him past Sachin Tendulkar's mark of 20. Virat Kohli scored 283 runs at an average of 141.50 including two hundreds and ended the series as the top run-scorer.

India registered the biggest win in history

Let us tell you that with the best bowling of Mohammad Siraj's career after Virat Kohli and opener Shubman Gill's century, India defeated Sri Lanka by 317 runs in the third and final ODI and registered the biggest win in history. Cleanswept 3-0 in the same three-match series. Earlier in ODI cricket, the record of the biggest win in terms of runs was in the name of New Zealand, who defeated Ireland by 290 runs in 2008.
