Following their eighth Asia Cup triumph, the Indian cricket team departed Sri Lanka, each player making their way to their respective destinations.

The likes of Captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah arrived at Mumbai's Kalina Airport, triumphant after claiming the title.
Pacer Mohammed Siraj was the hero for India claiming career-best figures of 6-21 while all-rounder Hardik Pandya took three wickets to bowl out Sri Lanka.

It’s the lowest total in an ODI final and Sri Lanka’s second-lowest total after its 43 all out against South Africa in Paarl in 2011.

It was also Sri Lanka’s lowest total at home with the previous lowest being the 98 all out against South Africa at the same venue in 1993. It is also the lowest total in the history of Asia Cups.
