Heavenly Praise by Wasim Akram of This Indian Star
Mohammed Shami has made himself undroppable with his stunning show in the last three matches for the Indian cricket team. The brilliant pacer has taken 14 wickets in just three matches, including two Player of the Match awards. Seeing Shami breathe fire with the ball for India in the ongoing World Cup campaign, Pakistani great Wasim Akram lavished wordly praise. Bowled over by Shami's brilliance, Akram couldn't stop singing praises of the India pacer.
For the second time in this World Cup, Shami bagged a fifer as India hammered Sri Lanka by a whopping 302 runs to qualify for the semi-finals.
Akram said in a chat, "Five overs and five for 18. What a spell! He is the second bowler in the history of the World Cup to take three wickets. Only Mitchell Starc had taken it before him. That's a massive deal. And most wickets for India in the World Cup. Another record for Shami. Now Shami has 45 wickets. That's an incredible performance by him. He comes and bowls seam deliveries. From the same area, he makes the ball come in and go away, with good pace.”
