IND vs SL: Mohammed Shami on the verge of creating history in World Cups; could achieve it in Sri Lanka clash
Mohammed Shami has played an instrument success in India?s dominant run in the ICC World Cup 2023. The fast bowler didn?t play the first four games as the team preferred Shardul Thakur over him due to the batting prowess the latter possessed.?
However, the injury to Hardik Pandya paved the way for him in the Indian XI and he made a staggering statement right away. He returned to the XI for the game against New Zealand and picked a five-wicket haul in Dharamsala that helped his side win.
Mohammed Sham continued his carnage as he then returned with four wickets to send a strong statement to the selectors. With 9 wickets in just two games, the pacer is on the verge of achieving history in the World Cups.?
