Mohammad Shami’s second five-wicket haul in just three World Cup 2023 games underscores his extraordinary talent. In the match against Sri Lanka, he conceded a mere 18 runs, and at one point, his figures read an astonishing 4 wickets for just a single run.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Shami went past legends Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan as India’s leading wicket-taker in ODI World Cups, with 45 wickets. Remember, in this World Cup, from just 3 games he has 14 wickets!<\/p>\n

He also surpassed Harbhajan Singh as the Indian bowler with the most five wicket hauls in ODIs.<\/p>\n

Post his fifer at the Wankhede, Shami celebrated by rubbing the ball against his head, signalling towards the dressing room. It turned out to be a playful message to Bowling Coach Paras Mhambrey.<\/p>\n

During the post-match conference, Shubman Gill shed light on the reason behind Shami’s gesture, saying, ‘That (Shami’s gesture<\/em>) is for our bowling coach (Mhambrey<\/em>) because he doesn’t have any hair on his head.’<\/p>\n
