Mohammed Shami is the rarest of talents in Indian cricket. A formidable right-arm fast bowler, Shami is the nightmare of every batsman. His phenomenal performance in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 has solidified his position as one of the, if not, the best bowler of the tournament.
He was included in the playing XI of the Indian team in the match against New Zealand, where the pacer picked up 5 wickets of the Kiwis, who were unbeatable at the time. In the next match against England, he took 4 wickets, and in the recent match against Sri Lanka, he picked up 5 wickets while giving away just 18 runs. Shami was nothing but impressive in the 2023 World Cup and as expected this magnificent bowler broke multiple records with his five-wicket hauls.
