In the second ODI against NewZealand, Shami’s first blood was Finn Allen. Shami clean-bowled Allen in the first over of the game. Then Shami took a blinder catch of Daryl Mitchell off his bowling. And in the 19th over Shami scalped the wicket of NewZealand’s last match hero Michael Bracewell. Bracewell was looking good but Shami trapped him, the ball gets an edge and went straight into the gloves of Ishan Kishan.
The right-arm pacer’s entry into the top-10 list is a momentous achievement for him. He has worked tirelessly to improve his game and has become one of the most reliable bowlers in world cricket. He has been the go-to man for India in tricky situations and has often provided the team with timely breakthroughs. His ability to bowl yorkers with precision has also been a major plus for India.
