Mohammed Shami Ahmed (born 3 September 1990) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for the Indian national cricket team and Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League. He is known as a reverse swing specialist. He is a right-arm fast bowler, who consistently bowls around the 145 to 150 km/h (90 to 93 mph) mark, and swings and seams ball at that pace which makes him a deceptively potent fast bowler.[2][3] He made his ODI debut against Pakistan in January 2013 where he bowled a record four maiden overs. He picked a five-wicket haul on his Test debut against West Indies in November 2013.[4] On 23 January 2019, he became the fastest Indian bowler to take 100 ODI wickets.[5] Earlier, he became the third fastest Indian to 100 test wickets. On 22 June 2019, Shami took a hat-trick against Afghanistan in the 2019 Cricket World Cup and helped India win its record 50th World Cup match.[6]Shami is the fourth Indian cricketer to pick up a hat-trick in One Day International Cricket after Chetan Sharma, Kapil Dev and Kuldeep Yadav and the second Indian to do so in the World Cup. He is one of the few cricketers to feature in the squad of all the ICC tournaments since his debut in 2013. He is currently one of the two fast bowlers to play in all the three formats of cricket for Indian national cricket team. He is included under the A grade annual salary (5 cr INR) of BCCI.[7]


Early life and career

Shami is originally from the village of Sahaspur in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh.[8] His father Tousif Ali was a farmer who had played cricket in his youth;[9] in 2005 he recognised Shami's bowling potential and took him to Badruddin Siddique, a cricket coach in Moradabad.

"When I first saw him [Shami] bowling at the nets as a 15-year-old kid, I knew this boy is not ordinary. So I decided to train him. For one year I prepared him for the UP trials, as we don't have club cricket over here. He was very co-operative, very regular and very hard working. He never took a day off from training. During the under 19 trials he bowled really well, but due to politics, he missed out on selection. They asked me to bring him next year, but at that moment I didn't want Shami to miss one year. So I advised his parents to send him to Kolkata."[citation needed]

— Badruddin Siddique on Mohammed Shami

Shami was not selected for the Uttar Pradesh under-19 side and later in 2005 Badruddin sent him to Kolkata. After playing for the Dalhousie Athletic Club he was noticed by Debabrata Das, a former assistant secretary of the Cricket Association of Bengal, who was impressed with Shami's bowling and persuaded him to join his own club, Town Club. Das took Shami, who had no place to stay in Kolkata, to live with him.[10] After bowling well for Town Club, Das asked one of the Bengal selectors, Samarban Banerjee, to watch Shami bowl; Banerjee was impressed and selected him for the Bengal under-22 team.

"Shami never wanted money. His goal was the stumps, the sound that comes from hitting the stumps. Ever since I saw him, most of his wickets were bowled. He bowls with an upright seam, on or just outside off stump, and gets it to cut back in."[10]

— Debabrata Das on Mohammed Shami

Shami later joined Mohun Bagan Cricket Club, one of the best sides in Bengal. He bowled to former Indian Test cricketer Sourav Ganguly in the Eden Gardens nets; Ganguly recommended him to the state selectors and soon after Shami was picked in the Bengal squad for the 2010–11 Ranji Trophy.

Domestic career

Shami made his first-class debut in 2010 against Assam for Bengal, picking up three wickets.

In the aftermath of his good performance in the domestic season, he was selected for the West Indies-bound India A squad in 2012. He shared a match-winning partnership of 73 runs for the 10th wicket with Cheteshwar Pujara during India A's unofficial Test match against the West Indies A in June 2012.

During Ranji Trophy 2012–13, in a match against Hyderabad on a green at Eden Gardens, he took 4/36 and 6/71, and scored 15* from 6 balls in the second innings to help his side win the match by 4 wickets, along with Wriddhiman Saha. He also took 7/79 and 4/72 against Madhya Pradesh at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, but in spite of that his side lost the match by 138 runs. It included a hat-trick in the first innings to wipe out the tail.

Mohammed Shami was part of the first pink-ball match organised in India. In the match between club teams Mohun Bagan and Bhowanipore, he took 5 wickets in the first innings. He backed it up with a couple of wickets in the second innings, leading Mohun Bagan to a huge victory against Bhowanipore. Shami enjoyed his first experience with the pink ball and said that the pink ball had more swing to offer than the season ball. It wobbled a lot under the lights and also reversed a tad bit.[11]

Indian Premier League career

Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils

Shami made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2011 but mainly warmed the bench for them. He was signed by Delhi Daredevils for the 2014 season but played only a few matches in that season. He was retained by the franchise in 2015 but did not play a match that season before becoming a regular in the side. In the first season with Delhi Daredevils in 2014, Shami played 12 matches and took 7 wickets. An injury ruled out him for the entire next season. In the both 2016 and 2017 IPL, he featured in only 8 matches and took 5 wickets. After being retained in the 2018 IPL Mega Auction by 3 crores INR, he managed only 3 wickets in the 4 games he played. Although Shami was retained by Delhi ahead of the mega auction 2018[12] and he too became one the main bowlers of the franchise, but eventually he was released ahead of 2019 season. So, injury, lack of form and gametime had never really allowed Shami to find his mojo in white ball cricket in his second IPL franchise, Delhi Daredevils, which he later unarguably found in Punjab Kings.[13]

Punjab Kings

In December 2018, he was bought by Punjab Kings (formerly called Kings XI Punjab) in the player auction ahead of the 2019 season by a whooping price of 4.8 crores INR.[14][15]

Although KXIP could not reach the playoffs of IPL 2019, Shami ended his first season with KXIP in a bright note, taking 19 wickets. He was the highest wicket taker of KXIP in that season and 7th overall. The number of wickets he got in his new franchise in a single season, was only 2 less than what he collectively had gotten in all the previous seasons. So this season was indisputably the best ever IPL season of Shami. [16]

In the very next season, he took 20 wickets and again became the main bowler and the highest wicket taker of his team and 8th overall. Besides, he was also the third highest Indian wicket taker of the season and the second highest of all Indian fast bowlers of the tournament. His strike rate of 16.10 throughout the season was truly incomparable in the true sense of the term.[17] So, 2020 was undoubtedly the best Indian Premier League season of Shami, even better than the previous season, where too his performance had been really phenomenal.

Shami defended 5 runs during the super over of 36th match of Indian Premier League 2020 against Mumbai Indians. That spell of Shami will surely be vividly reminisced as one of the greatest super over spells in the history of Indian Premier League[18]

In the ongoing 2021 Indian Premier League, Shami has taken 19 wickets in 14 matches with an impressive economy rate, strike rate and average of 7.50, 16.63 and 20.78 respectively. [19], with the best figures of 3/21 coming against Rajasthan Royals during the 32nd match of the tournament.[20] He is currently placed at the 3rd spot of the highest wicket takers of the tournament and the 1st spot in terms of highest wicket takers of his team.[21] He also holds the number one position in the number of dot balls bowled, with 145 dot balls to his name.[22] Despite the valiant efforts of Shami and others, Punjab failed to qualify for the playoffs for the 7th straight occasion and finished at the 6th spot of the points table.[23]

On the occasion of Mohammed Shami, the ace, unaided, standalone bowler of PBKS, becoming the 4th cricketer and the only 2nd fast bowler to take 50 wickets for PBKS, The Free Press Journal wrote---

"Mohammed Shami on Tuesday joined the Elite List of Punjab Kings bowlers to have claimed 50 IPL scalps for the club, becoming the only fourth bowler after Piyush Chawla(84), Sandeep Sharma (71) and Axar Patel (61) to do so. The star Indian pacer achieved this feat against the Rajasthan Royals in Dubai after he dismissed Chris Morris cheaply on 5 in the 19th over of the first innings of the game. Shami, along with PBKS youngster, Arshdeep Singh did a brilliant job towards the death to restrict Rajasthan to a total of 185 runs which looked well above 200 at the start of their innings. The experienced Indian war horse took three crucial wickets of power-hitters Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia and Chris Morris at a miserly economy rate of 5.25 that restricted the Royals from crossing the dangerous 200 run mark. Shami finished his four over spell with the figures of 3/21."[24]

In all, Shami has taken 79 wickets in the 79 matches he has played so far, but out of those 79 wickets, he has taken 58 in the last two seasons and the ongoing season (42 matches) in his new team, Punjab Kings.[25] The fact cannot be denied that Shami has found his mojo back in white ball cricket in his new team, Punjab Kings.[26] He is currently the 4th all-time highest wicket-taker of Punjab Kings, reaching the feat only in 37 IPL matches. Although Shami has not performed in Twenty20 International exceptionally well as he has done in the other two formats, but due to his phenomenal performances in 3 consecutive Indian Premier League seasons (one ongoing), he has been picked in the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup squad for team India.[27] So Punjab Kings has indeed provided a rebirth to Mohammed Shami, making him a prominent pacer in team India of all three formats, rather than being limited to only Tests and ODIs.

According to Iplt20.com, "Mohammed Shami has revived his limited-overs career with some stellar performances in India colours in recent months and was picked up by Punjab Kings for a hefty price tag of INR 4.8 crore. Shami will be leading the PBKS pace attack and his experience will be vital. He has the skills to be effective both at the start of the innings and also in the death overs. Shami’s progress has been terrific and he is now a complete bowler and batsmen will need to be wary against him. He had a fine run in 2019 and finished the season as KXIP’s highest wicket-taker with 19 wickets from 14 games. His bowling got even better in the 2020 season where he defended six runs in a super-over through his incredible consistency and struck early with the new ball for PBKS throughout the 13th edition."[28]

Test career

Shami made his Test debut against West Indies in November 2013 in front of his home crowd at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. There, he took his maiden Test wicket – that of Kieran Powell – finishing with figures of 17–2–71–4 in the first innings of the Test match. In the second innings, his figures were 13.1–0–47–5. He had a dream debut, taking 9 wickets for 118 runs – the most by an Indian pacer on debut – surpassing Munaf Patel's 7 wickets for 97 runs in Mohali in 2006.

He played Tests against South Africa and New Zealand and picked 6 and 10 wickets respectively. He had a poor series at the 2014 tour of England with 5 wickets in 3 matches at an average of 73.20. He was involved in a 111-run partnership for the 10th wicket, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the first Test at Trent Bridge, and scored his maiden half-century in the process, and helped India post 457 in the 1st innings when India were struggling on 346–9.[29] He was a part of 19-member squad for 2014–15 Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia where he played 3 matches and had a good series picking up 15 wickets at an average of 35.80.[30] He took 100 wickets in 29th Test. During the 2014–15 Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, Mohammed Shami joined the club of Indian bowlers with 100 Test wickets. Shami became one of the 20 Indian bowlers with 100 Test wickets or more. The fast bowler took 29 Tests to reach that landmark; in comparison, his compatriot, Ravichandran Ashwin took 17 Tests to get there. Overall, he was the third fastest Indian pacer to do so.[31]


India tour of England 2018

Shami was included in the squad of team India for the 2018 tour of England and he featured in all the five tests India played in the English soil. Although he was a bit unlucky, but his performance was really astounding as compared to the other bowlers of team India. In each of the first two matches, Shami took 3 wickets in the first innings but went wicketless in the second innings (In the second innings of the second match, Shami didn't bowl a single ball, as India were handed an innings defeat). In the next match he took two wickets collectively. However, Shami's best performance in the series came in the penultimate match of the series, as he took 6 wickets, 4 in the first innings and 2 in the second innings. In the 5th test, Shami took 2 wickets, all in the second innings. In all, Shami took 16 wickets in the series, but his performance was much superior to all the other bowlers of team India featuring in the series.[32]

2019-21 ICC World Test Championship

In the 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship, during the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, Shami suffered a fracture on his arm. As a result, he was ruled out of the whole series.

According to Hindustantimes.com[33] ,"India pacer Mohammad Shami has been ruled out of the series after suffering a fracture on his arm. He retired hurt while batting in the second innings at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday after he was hit on the right arm by a bouncer from Pat Cummins. Speaking to ANI, sources in the know of developments said that the terrible pain was a result of the fracture he has sustained. "Yes, he has a fracture and that is why he could not grip the bat and lift it at the crease. It looked bad and the worst fear has come true," the source said. India skipper Virat Kohli had earlier spoken about how Shami was in pain and scans were conducted to check the extent of the injury. "No news on Shami, he is going for a scan now. Was in a lot of pain, could not even lift his arm. We will probably know in the evening what happens," he had said at the post-match press conference.[34]

In the 2019-21 World Test Championship, Shami emerged as the joint 10th highest wicket taker along with Jofra Archer, with 40 wickets in all. He was the highest wicket taker among all the Indian pacers and the second highest of all Indian bowlers, only behind the highest wicket taker of the tournament, Ravichandran Ashwin.[35] Shami also featured in the final of the inaugural test championship against New Zealand and took 4 wickets, all in the first innings. [36]

2021-23 ICC World Test Championship

During the 2021-23 ICC World Test Championship, in the 2021 India-England series, on August 16, 2021, in India's 2nd innings, Mohammed Shami made his highest score in Test cricket, with an unbeaten score of 56* in a partnership with Jasprit Bumrah, which helped team India to script a historical win against England.[37] It is Shami's second half-century in test cricket. Throughout the series, Shami picked 11 wickets in the 3 matches (5 innings) with an impressive average of 27.54[38] and strike rate of 52.81.[39] In Spite of playing only 3 matches in the 5-match series, Shami finished as the 5th highest wicket-taker of the series with the best figures of 4/95 coming during the 1st innings of the 3rd match of the series.[40]

In the 2021-23 World Test Championship, Shami is currently the joint sixth highest wicket taker along with JNT Seales, with 11 wickets in 3 matches.[41]

In all, Mohammed Shami has taken 195 wickets in the 54 test matches (102 innings) he has played so far with an impressive average of 27.57 and an economy rate of 3.29. He is just five wickets away to claim his 200th test wicket.[3]

ODI career

As a result of his remarkable performances in domestic matches, Mohammed Shami was selected for India's ODI series against Pakistan, replacing his Bengali teammate Ashok Dinda[42] and subsequently made his debut in the third ODI in Delhi on 6 January 2013.[43] He returned a tidy figure of 1/23 from 9 overs in a low-scoring game that India won by 10 runs.[44] He was selected for India's Australian tour in October 2013. After sitting on the bench for the first 3 matches, he was given a chance in the fourth match in which he took 3 wickets.

In India's tour of New Zealand in 2014, Shami picked 11 wickets in ODIs at an average of 28.72.

On 5 March 2014, in an Asia cup match against Afghanistan, Shami became the second fastest Indian to take 50 ODI wickets. He ended the tournament with 9 wickets at 23.59.

After losing the Test series by 3–1 against England India won the ODI series by 3–1 in which Shami took 8 wickets at 24.16. In 5th ODI he bowled a good spell in death overs with tight line and length & Middle stump Yorkers. After that many cricket pundits started calling him the future of Indian bowling.[45]

Shami took 10 wickets at 17.40 against West Indies in October 2014.[46] In the 2nd ODI of the Series he got his best bowling figure in ODIs as he picked up 4 wickets for 36 runs in his 9.3 overs.

He was in the 15 man Squad for 5 Odis against Sri Lanka in November 2014 but he was replaced by Dhawal Kulkarni due to a toe injury he suffered during the West Indies Series.[47]

For his performances in 2014, he was named in the World ODI XI by the ICC.


2015 World Cup

Shami was in the 15-man squad named for the 2015 World Cup and was eventually included in the playing XI. He picked 4 wickets for 35 runs from his 9 overs in India's first match against Pakistan, helping India win the match. In the second against South Africa, he finished with 2/30 from 8 overs. Against West Indies, he was awarded the Man of the Match after finishing with figures 8–2–35–3.[48] He had a good game in the next as well, against Ireland, finishing with 3/41 from 9 overs. In the last of the league games, against Zimbabwe, he took another 3-wicket haul giving away 48 runs from his 9 overs which included two maidens. India went on to win all the league games. In the quarterfinal against Bangladesh, he picked 2 wickets for 37 runs off 8 overs. He had a poor game against Australia in the semifinal, which India lost, where he gave away 68 runs off 10 overs without picking a wicket, thus finishing the tournament with 17 wickets at 17.29 and an economy rate of 4.81. In June, after the conclusion of the tournament, Shami revealed that he bowled through a recurring pain in his left knee. He later underwent a surgery.[49] He was also named in the 'Team of the tournament' by Cricbuzz for his astounding performance.[50]

For his performances in 2015, he was named in the World ODI XI by the ICC.[51]

2017 Champions Trophy

Shami returned to the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 after a two-year hiatus due to a shoulder injury. But due to lack of game time, he did not feature in any of the matches of the tournament. Controversies remained over the continuous omission of Shami from the playing XI. The cricket pundits and critics took to twitters and social media to criticise the decision. [52]

2019 New Zealand Tour

In January 2019, during the tour of New Zealand, Shami claimed his 100th ODI wicket in first of the five games bowling Martin Guptill out. Mohammed Shami became the fastest Indian bowler to claim 100 ODI wickets, during the first ODI against New Zealand at Napier. Shami reached the milestone in his 56th match, with the wicket of New Zealand opener, Martin Guptill. The Indian record of the fastest bowler to claim 100 ODI wickets was previously held by Irfan Pathan, who got there in his 59th match, against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi in 2006. The world record is currently held by ace Afghanistan leg-spinner, Rashid Khan, who needed only 44 games to reach the mark. Shami is currently joint-sixth with New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult, who is also playing this match for the opponent side.[53]

Playing in four games throughout the series, Shami picked a total of nine wickets at an astounding average of 15.33 and was named man of the series. This series unquestionably rejuvenated the white ball carrier of Shami, helping him to book a spot in the 2019 Cricket World Cup[54] squad.

2019 Cricket World Cup

In April 2019, he was named in India's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[55][56] for some phenomenal performances in the white ball cricket. He was one of the only three fast bowlers to feature in the squad, the other two being Jasprit Bumrah and the white ball specialist, Bhuvneshwar Kumar. On 22 June 2019, in the match against Afghanistan, Shami took a hat-trick.[57] He became the second Indian bowler after Chetan Sharma to claim a hat-trick in a World Cup match.[58][59][60] He became the ninth player to have achieved a hat-trick in the Cricket World Cup.[61] On 30 June 2019, in the match against England, Shami took his first five-wicket haul in ODIs.[62] After playing astoundingly in 4 back to back matches, the decision of selecting Bhuvneshwar Kumar over Shami raised eyebrows among the cricket pundits. They took to Twitter to express their displeasure on the decision.[63] Although Shami featured only in 4 matches, but he took 14 wickets, becoming the 12th highest wicket taker and the second highest Indian, only behind Jasprit Bumrah, who took 18 wickets in 9 matches. He had the best bowling strike rate of 15.07 and the best average of 13.78 of all the bowlers of the tournament.[64]

In all, Mohammed Shami has taken 148 wickets in the 79 ODI matches he has played so far with an average of 25.63 and economy rate of 5.63. He is just a couple of wickets away to claim his 150th ODI wicket.[3]


T20I career

2014 ICC World Twenty20

Shami made his debut in Twenty20 Internationals on 21 March 2014 against Pakistan in the opening match of the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 and took the wicket of Umar Akmal. In that match, He gave away 31 runs and took a single wicket in the 4 overs he bowled. In the next match against West Indies, he went wicketless for 27 runs. In the third match against Bangladesh, he took a single wicket for 29 runs. He played for only three matches in the tournament and was dropped for the rest.

He was included in the side in 2014 tour of England, following the Test series, in July. He played in the lone match of the series and finished with 3 wickets conceding 38 runs.[65]


2016 ICC World Twenty20

Shami returned to the squad for 2016 ICC World Twenty20 after spending more than two years recuperating from the shoulder injury. But due to lack of form and game time, he did not feature in any of the matches of the tournament. Controversies remained over the continuous omission of Shami from the playing XI. The cricket pundits and critics took to twitters and social media to criticise the decision. [66]

2021 ICC World Twenty20

Although Shami has not performed in Twenty20 International exceptionally well as he has done in the other two formats, but due to his phenomenal performances in 3 consecutive Indian Premier League seasons (one ongoing), he has been picked in the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup squads for team India.[67] He is one of the only three fast bowlers in the main squad, the other two being Jasprit Bumrah and the white-ball specialist, Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Shami is going to be a vital cog of team India in the upcoming T20 World Cup, as the tournament will be held in UAE, where Shami has had a breathtaking Indian Premier League season previous year.

According to Espncricinfo.com ,"Bowling at the death is probably what gave Shami an edge over Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur [both in the reserves], who have had greater success up top. Shami has got 14 death-over wickets since IPL 2020, which is the same as Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj combined. He can move the ball both ways, as he's shown ample times in the past, and as a bonus, he has the undefinable ability to be unplayable regardless of format when he gets into his rhythm".[68]

In all, Shami has played 12 T20Is, taking as many wickets with an economy rate of 9.8 until 2020-21 tour of Australia. [69]

Controversies

On 9 March 2018, a First Information Report (FIR) was lodged against Shami and his family members by his wife, Hasin Jahan, citing domestic violence and adultery.[70][71][72][73] Further, Shami was charged for attempted murder, rape and adultery which was claimed by his wife, Hasin Jahan.[74][75][further explanation needed]

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) withheld Shami from their national contracts list as a result of the[which?] allegations.[further explanation needed][76] On 22 March 2018, the BCCI cleared Shami's central contract after its Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) cleared him of corruption charges.[77][78]

On 2 September 2019, the Alipore Court issued an arrest warrant against Mohammed Shami in connection to his domestic violence and physical assault charge levied by his wife Hasin Jahan.[79] He had 15 days as of the issuance of the warrant to surrender.[79] The arrest warrant was stayed by a district court on 10 September 2019 because the court that issued the warrant failed to issue a summons to appear in court after filing the charge sheet, and that an arrest warrant should only be filed after the defendant fails to appear before court after being issued a summons.[80]
