NEW DELHI: Mohammed Shami has featured only in half the matches India have played so far in this ODI World Cup and is still the team's highest wicket-taker, led by his two five-wicket hauls in four games since the right-arm pacer was brought into the playing eleven following Hardik Pandya's injury.
While all-rounder Hardik failed to recover from his ankle injury and was ruled out of the World Cup, Shami has gone on from strength to strength to not just bowl well but actually destroy the oppositions with fiery spells.
