| Mohammad Shami took 5 wickets against New Zealand : AFP |
Indian pacer Mohammad Shami was a spectator in the first four matches of the World Cup. However, his forehead has opened due to Hardik Pandya's injury. Shami finally got a chance against New Zealand yesterday. And this pacer got the chance to burn the ball. He took 5 wickets with 55 runs in 10 overs.
He brought breakthroughs whenever the team needed the ball in hand. Bring Will Young back to the beginning. After that, Shami also broke the 152-run partnership of Rachin Ravindra and Darryl Mitchell. Bring back Rachin who scored 75 runs. Mitchell, who scored 130 runs, also returned to Shami. Before that, in the 48th over, however, Mitchel Santner and Matt Henry got out and raised the possibility of a hat-trick. In the end it was Shami who broke the backbone of the QI batting, if not the hat-trick, which kept the target within reach for the Indian batsmen.
Shami has taken 19 wickets in the last 5 matches played in the World Cup including yesterday's match. Shami is being praised by former Indian cricketers due to his great performance. Former fast bowler Irfan Pathan compared him with Ferrari. Said Shami, whenever he got the chance, gave the same thrill as Ferrari. Another former cricketer Mohammad Kaif also praised Shami.
Comparing Shami with the world famous car brand Ferrari, Irfan said, "Mohammed Shami is like Ferrari." Every time you take her out of the garage, she will give you the same dynamic thrills and joyous journeys.'
And citing Shami as an inspiration, Kaif said, "Mohammad Shami's legend is growing with every ball, every innings and every match." Shami you inspire. Good luck for 5 wickets.'
