‘Mohammed Shami’: The unsung hero

Gaurav Chhabra (sports desk)

Mohammed Shami has been the most prolific find for the Indian bowling so far  in this World Cup tournament. He is the leading wicket taker for India (17) and is just the second in the list of the bowlers in World Cup after Stark (18).

Shami has quietly made  his way among the top wicket takers with a superb strike rate in the one day internationals. He is fast approaching the 100 wickets mark and if his performance continues, he might become the fastest to achieve the feat not only for India but also the world.

The Indian team has heavily relied on Shami for breakthrough in the first  10 overs and Shami has not disappointed at all. India is the only team in this world cup to dismiss the opposition teams in all the seven matches they have played and the credit for it largely goes to Shami who has been instrumental behind the dismissals of the openers and made it easy for his team to defend low totals.

The Indian team which was looking for someone to match the performances of someone of the caliber of Zaheer Khan has found a perfect replacement in Shami. Things look good for the team as Shami has been ably supported by Umesh Yadav who with the speed constantly hitting 90 miles per hour and Mohit Sharma with his impeccable accuracy have made the world take note of the Indian pace battery..

A small town boy from UP, Shami delivered with favourable  conditions abroad and his talent has come to the fore.  With India heading towards semifinals against the Aussies, his role would be  crucial in giving India a fine start against a powerful Kangaroos playing on their home soil. Bouncers had been the key for Shami and it would be interesting to see how the he takes on the Aussie batting lineup that is ranked best in this tournament so far. The performance of Wahab Riyaaz in the quarterfinals against the Aussies has raised the bar for Shami. The semifinal match is the time to prove his mettle.
