Mohammed Shami picked up a five-wicket haul against team Australia by taking five wickets while giving 51 runs on Friday at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in the opening ODI match. Australia set the target of 276 runs in 50 overs. One of those eight wickets that were picked by the Indian bowlers grabbed the attention of former head of the team Ravi Shastri as he shared a remarkable post on the dismissal.
Although Shastri posted his blockbuster reaction almost towards the end of Australia's innings, it immediately went viral as he had written, “Shami ji. Kya ball dala hai Smith ko #INDvsAUS #MohaliODI.”
Later on, BCCI responded to the post by tweeting about Shami's dismissal of Marcus Stoinis in the 47th over. It was a fuller delivery that kept low. The batter looked for a big slog over midwicket but missed it, and the ball hit the stumps. The post read: “Another beauty from Shami, and this time it's Stoinis who departs.”
