Mohammad Shami’s ‘Two best Friends’ from Team India- Not Bumrah or Siraj

Indian Pacer Mohammad Shami played as the role of an anchor in Team India’s splendid outing at the ODI World Cup 2023. India remained undefeated in the entire tournament but ended up losing to Australia on the final match. Shami, who had played only seven games, bagged a massive total of 24 wickets and became the highest wicket taker of the tournament. Though, Shami faced an ankle injury during the World Cup and has been out of action ever since. But recently, he had returned to nets to get started with his bowling practice.

Even after struggling with the injury and missing the IPL 2024 and T20 World Cup 2024, Shami looked in a good shape. Shami had recently appeared in a podcast where he revealed that star batter Virat Kohli and pacer Ishant Sharma are two of his best friends from team India.

“Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma are my best friends. They constantly kept calling me when I was injured,” said Shami.

Shami further went on at former Pakistan captain Inzamam ul Haq for accusing Arshdeep Singh of ball tampering during the T20 World Cup.

During the 2023 World Cup, Shami himself was a target of a strange charge. Former Pakistan player Hasan raza said that India were getting different type of balls that had a device implanted in it, that is ultimately causing the ball to get extra swing.

“I have said in an interview that I will cut the ball and show if there is a device or not. Abhi ek aur namuna khod ke dia hai inhone. They said, ‘How can Arshdeep Singh get reverse swing?’ I want to say only one thing to Inzamam bhai. I respect him a lot. If you do the same thing, isn’t it ball-tampering? Those who do well against them, will be their target. India and Pakistan are arch-rivals,” Shami said.
