India’s bowling in the World Cup 2023 has not just bowled the competitors but the entire nation! In the semi-final match against New Zealand, Indian bowler Shami created history by taking seven wickets. This means that he holds a lot of credit for India’s semi-final win, but this doesn’t stop here.
Earlier, Shami was not a part of the playing eleven because Team India wanted to go with some other players like Hardik, Siraj, and Shardul. But since Hardik got injured in the Bangladesh match, the team decided to go with the pacer, Shami. The team’s decision turned into a blessing, as Shami has taken 26 wickets in just six matches.
Shami has faced many downfalls in his life, from his brutal divorce to the case of defamation. In a live Instagram chat with Rohit Sharma, he revealed that at one point in his life, he was on the verge of taking his life. But he has surpassed that phase now and is reaching massive pinnacles of success.
Shami has been made to sit out of matches many times, including the 2019 ODI World Cup. In the 2021 T20 World Cup, Shami faced major backlash from some right-wing fans because he couldn’t perform well in a match against Pakistan. But after his performance in this World Cup, fans as well as celebrities are praising him from around the globe.
