Filmmaker SS Rajamouli took to X (formerly Twitter) to commend Siraj, saying, "Siraj Miyan (Sir), our Tolichowki boy shines at the Asia Cup final with 6 wickets... And has a big heart, running to long-on to stop the boundary off his own bowling."
Vicky Kaushal, on Instagram, exclaimed, "On Fire! What a spell!"
Anushka Sharma shared a picture of Siraj and praised him with, "Kya Baat Hai Miyan! Magic!"
Mahesh Babu posted a picture of the Indian team, stating, "Bowled over!! Congratulations Team India on your sensational win in the Asia Cup 2023. Championship at its finest!"
Sidharth Malhotra also joined in with a congratulatory message, highlighting India's bowling prowess, "Team India showed their bowling power today. Congratulations for their spectacular win at Asia Cup 2023! Way to go, champs!"
Siddhant Chaturvedi shared an image of Siraj celebrating after taking a wicket, adding, "Bhai bhai."
India clinched the Asia Cup trophy for the eighth time, thanks in part to Siraj's brilliant performance that decimated Sri Lanka. Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan's fifty-run partnership solidified India's victory in style in the final at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. India had last won the Asia Cup five years ago.

Siraj played a pivotal role in India's win, dismantling the Sri Lankan top-order in a spectacular display of fast bowling. India secured the title in just over two hours, with Sri Lanka being bowled out for a mere 50 runs in 15.2 overs, largely due to Siraj's extraordinary performance, which saw him claim six wickets in seven overs. Notably, this marked the first time that India had taken six wickets in the first 10 overs of an ODI match.
