NEW DELHI: India batter Suryakumar Yadav showered praise on pacer Mohammed Shami for his outstanding five-wicket performance against Australia, which played a pivotal role in India's gripping five-wicket triumph in the opening match of the three-match ODI series in Mohali on Friday.
Shami, with his characteristic swagger and precision, dismantled Australia's batting order, with the dismissal of Steve Smith being a standout moment in his spell. Yadav hailed Shami's remarkable achievement, especially considering the sporadic opportunities the veteran pacer has had in the Indian cricket team.
