The Sri Lanka series win marked the first away series win for captain Gill in the traditional format of the game. This was a huge moment for the India National Cricket Team, who have failed to win a series away from home in recent times and also struggled in spin-friendly conditions, which have resulted in the loss of two home series.
Chopra said, "It's a little difficult if you are a fast bowler and you are playing for Sri Lanka. It's hot, pitches don't help at all. Again, it's the use of Kookaburra, which is a little helpful till it shines. But after that, it takes more time to reverse swing. The seam gets embedded in the leather."

"So I think you will have to look at the performance of every fast bowler from that point of view. Prasidh Krishna, who is of long height and is a hit-the-deck hard bowler, he may have impressed you a little more. But Mohammed Siraj has been made to play less. You haven't made him play continuously."
"I don't think we should be too critical": Aakash Chopra on Mohammed Siraj's Sri Lanka performance
Chopra added, "And whatever he has done, I don't think we should be too critical that this series is not good. He has been playing continuously. He doesn't take a break. He is not someone who gets injured. He is a player who comes and tries to give 100%."
"But I will not say that whatever expectations he had, he didn't fulfil. Because if you are hoping for a wicket from a fast bowler in Sri Lanka, then the problem may be in the game."
Mohammed Siraj's form vs Sri Lanka
Siraj picked up 2 wickets in India's 165-run victory in the first Test at Galle, and in the 2nd Test at the Colombo SSC, he picked up 2 wickets, combined with 1 wicket in the first innings and 1 wicket in the second innings as the match was drawn.
