The former England Star says, “Mohammed Shami Is Underrated Because He Is Not Jasprit Bumrah."
For India pacer Mohammed Shami, the Cricket World Cup 2023 has been an edition to remember so far. Shami, who was initially kept out of the playing XI of the team in their first four matches, got his opportunity in the fifth match, and he returned with a five-wicket haul against New Zealand. In the next game, which was against England, Shami picked up four wickets. After playing just two matches in the ongoing tournament, the 33-year-old pacer claimed nine wickets.
Former pacer of England cricket team Steve Harmison said that Mohammed Shami is among the most underrated pacers because he is not Jasprit Bumrah.
Former Pacer of England Steve Harmison said, "He (Mohammed Shami) is one of the most underrated fast bowlers in world cricket because he is not Jasprit Bumrah. Haris Rauf is the same when it comes to Shaheen Afridi. The ability of Shami to move the ball from that off stump either way just makes the two of them a completely different proposition.”
Meanwhile, Harmison also praised Bumrah, who has been on the money for Team India in the ongoing mega event. The right-arm pacer is among the leading wicket-takers in the edition.
