Shami, the game changer. Mohammad Shami, the hero who took India to the final, can be called by this name. Virat Kohli's record-breaking match, a match to make history by surpassing great hero Sachin by reaching half-century of centuries. But two years ago, Shami, who came under fire from the Indian fans, changed the script. This pacer became the hero of the victory by collapsing New Zealand's batting lineup with a career-best 7 wickets. But two years ago, Indian fans told Shami to 'go to Pakistan'.
But it was Shami who was told by the Indian supporters to 'go to Pakistan'.

This pacer became the hero of the victory by collapsing New Zealand's batting lineup with a career-best 7 wickets. But two years ago, Indian fans told Shami to 'go to Pakistan'.
After the loss against Pakistan in the 2021 World Cup, Shami was criticized on social media. He was called a Pakistani by Indian fans after the loss against Pakistan because he is a Muslim. Some have identified Shami as a Pakistani spy. Many are abusing in unspeakable language. One wrote, 'How much money did you take from Pakistan?' Another wrote 'Traitor, show your power.' Another commented, 'Pakistani of India.' One wrote, 'Pakistan's twelfth player.'
Indian fans forgot that Shami was the hero of India's victory against Pakistan in the 2015 World Cup as well. He crushed Pakistan's batting line-up in a brilliant spell. Even today he is the hero who took India to the final after an era.
This pacer was not in the XI in the first four matches for India. After that, he got success in every match after getting a chance to replace Hardik Pandya. On this day, he took 5 wickets for the second time in the current season by destroying New Zealand who were in great condition. And with that, Shamir reached the fastest fifty of wickets in the 48-year history of the World Cup. On the way to this feat, Shami has met Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan.
Batting first, Virat Kohli's record century and Shreyas Iyer's record century and Shubman Gill's half century, India collected a huge 397 runs, but the main hero of this match is Shami, the game changer! India came back into the match mainly due to his brilliant bowling. But this pacer could have become a villain. If Williamson survives Shami's life after 52 runs, another night like the 2021 World Cup might have been waiting in Shami's life. After missing an easy catch, he didn't get flustered, he did his job properly.
Became the first Indian to take 51 wickets in a World Cup by taking four consecutive wickets in two spells. Which is the fastest in the 48-year history of the World Cup. He took wickets in just 17 innings. Before that, Australian pacer Mitchell Starc set the precedent of taking 50 wickets in the current World Cup. He, however, reached a half-century of wickets in 19 innings. Overall, he is the fifth bowler to take 7 wickets in any innings in the World Cup. On this day, Shami took seven wickets at the cost of 57 runs in 9.5 overs.
Shami has played only six matches in the current World Cup. And with that, he has climbed to the top of the list of the best bowlers of the World Cup. His victim is 23 wickets in 6 matches. On the other hand, Australian leg-spinner Adam Jumper, who played all matches, took 22 wickets in 9 matches. Shami, who got the title of traitor two years ago, took India to the final by bowling brilliantly. In Sachin's field, Kohli became the match-winning hero by taking all the limelight.
