England all-rounder Ben Stokes heaped praise on India speedster Mohammed Shami and called him the bowler of the tournament. Shami made his place in India's playing XI just three games ago against New Zealand and announced his arrival with a five-wicket haul on Dharamshala's tricky surface.
He continued to ride on his hot form in the next two games against the defending champions England and Sri Lanka. In just three games, Shami has claimed 14 wickets in the ongoing tournament and has the best bowling figure as well as the best bowling average. With a figure of 5-18, Shami with 45 wickets became India's most successful bowler in the World Cup as he surpassed iconic pacer Zaheer Khan.
