India's pace ace Mohammad Shami recently left both fans and pundits in a state of awe and wonder with his outstanding performance in a match against Sri Lanka during the World Cup. Shami, who had spearheaded the Indian bowling attack, managed to secure a remarkable five-wicket haul.
However, what caught everyone's attention was his sudden interruption of celebration to perform a Sajdah, prompting speculation about the reasons behind this intriguing moment.
The unexpected twist in the World Cup match showcased Shami's exceptional skills as he not only decimated the Sri Lankan batting lineup but also secured his place in the record books.
This remarkable five-wicket haul by Shami marked the fourth time in his illustrious career that he had achieved this outstanding feat, surpassing the record held by the legendary Javagal Srinath.
Shami's breathtaking performance and unwavering consistency have firmly established him as one of India's premier fast bowlers.
His contribution to the team's success has been invaluable, and during the game, his spellbinding performance increased his World Cup wickets tally to an impressive 14 wickets, despite his participation in only three matches throughout the tournament.
