Fast bowler Mohammed Shami is working hard to make a comeback in the Indian team. He was very close to making a comeback, but it has been delayed due to a knee problem. The Indian team is about to be announced for the series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy, and it is expected that Shami will join the team this time.
Shami last performed in the Indian jersey in the ODI World Cup 2023, but since then he has been out of the team for a long time due to injury. If he gets a chance to play in the upcoming series, he can achieve a big achievement.
The experienced fast bowler has made a comeback in domestic cricket and has proved his fitness by playing in Ranji Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy. Shami has a chance to take the fastest 200 ODI wickets. He has taken 195 wickets in 100 ODI innings. If he takes five wickets in his next match, he can achieve this feat.
This record is currently held by Mitchell Starc of Australia, who has taken 200 ODI wickets in 102 innings. Ajit Agarkar is the fastest bowler for India to take 200 wickets, who achieved this feat in 133 matches. Shami has a golden opportunity to break Agarkar’s record.
Mohammed Shami last played for India in the ODI World Cup final in November 2023, after which he had to remain out for a long period due to ankle surgery. He was expected to make a comeback against New Zealand, but this was delayed due to knee swelling.
