Mohammed Shami Ahmed (born 3 September 1990) is an Indian international cricketer who plays as a bowler for the Indian national cricket team. He plays domestically for Bengal and in the Indian Premier League for Punjab Kings.

He is a right-arm fast bowler, who consistently bowls at around 145 to 150 km/h (90 to 93 mph), moving the ball off the seam and using swing, including reverse swing[2] to move the ball both ways. He has been described as a fine bowler at the end of a limited-overs innings and as "unplayable" at times in all formats.[3]

Shami made his international debut in a One Day International (ODI) against Pakistan in January 2013, bowling four maiden overs. His Test debut in November 2013 saw him take a five-wicket haul against the West Indies.[4] He is the third fastest Indian bowler to take 100 test wickets and the fastest to take 100 ODI wickets.[5]

Early life and career

Shami is originally from the village of Sahaspur in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh.[6] His father Tousif Ali was a farmer who had played cricket in his youth;[7] 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.[8] 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."[8]

— 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, taking up three wickets.[citation needed] Following his performances in his debut season in top-level domestic cricket, he was selected for the India A which toured the West Indies in 2012, during which he was part of a match-winning partnership of 73 runs for the tenth wicket with Cheteshwar Pujara during the sides unofficial Test match against the West Indies A in June 2012.[citation needed]

During the 2012–13 Ranji Trophy Shami took 4/36 and 6/71 against Hyderabad on a green wicket at Eden Gardens.[citation needed] Later in the season he took 7/79 and 4/72 against Madhya Pradesh at Indore, including a hat-trick in the first innings.[citation needed]

Indian Premier League

Shami made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2011. He was signed by Delhi Daredevils for the 2014 season, but played only a few matches. He was retained in 2015 but did not play a match that season after being ruled out through injury, before becoming a more regular player for the team. He was released ahead of 2019 season.

In December 2018, he was bought by Kings XI Punjab[a] in the player auction ahead of the 2019 season.[9][10] He took 19 wickets and was the side's leading wicket-taker and seventh overall in the competition.[11] The following season he took 20 wickets and defended five runs during a super over against Mumbai Indians.[12]

Test career

Shami made his Test debut against [[the touring West Indies in November 2013 in front of his home crowd at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. He took four wickets in the first innings and a five-wicket haul in the second. His nine wickets in the match were the most by an Indian fast bowler on debut – surpassing Munaf Patel's 7/97 in Mohali in 2006.

He played Tests against South Africa and New Zealand[when?] but had a poor series on the 2014 tour of England with only five wickets in three matches at an average of 73.20 runs per wicket. He was involved in a 111-run partnership for the 10th wicket, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the first Test at Trent Bridge, scoring his maiden half-century.[13] He was a part of 19-member squad for 2014–15 tour of Australia where he played three matches, taking 15 wickets at an average of 35.80.[14] During the tour he took his hundredth Test wicket in his 29th Test, the 20th Indian bowler to do reach 100 wickets in Test maches.[15]

Shami was included in the squad for the 2018 tour of England and he featured in all the five tests. He took 16 wickets in the series, but his performance was much superior to all the other bowlers of team India featuring in the series.[16]

During the 2020-21 tour of Australia, Shami suffered an arm fracture after being hit whist batting. As a result, he was ruled out of the final three Tests of the series.[17][18]

During the 2021 tour of England Shami made his highest score in Test cricket, with an unbeaten innings of 56 in a partnership with Jasprit Bumrah.[19] He took 11 wickets in the three matches he played with at average of 27.54,[20] the fifth highest wicket-taker in the series with best figures of 4/95.[20]

ODI career

Shami was selected for India's One Day International series against Pakistan in 2012–13, replacing his Bengal teammate Ashok Dinda,[21] and made his debut in the third match in Delhi in January 2013.[22] He took one wicket in the nine overs he bowled in a low-scoring game.[23] He was selected for India's tour of Australia in October 2013, taking three wickets in the only match he played.

In 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 nine wickets at an average of 23.59.

Shami was in the 15-man Indian squad named for the 2015 Cricket World Cup and was included in the playing XI. He took four wickets for 35 runs in India's first match against Pakistan, helping India win the match. Against West Indies, he was awarded the Player of the Match award after finishing with figures of 3/35[24] and in the quarterfinal against Bangladesh, he took two 2 wickets for 37 runs. He had a poor game against Australia in the semi-final, which India lost, conceeding 68 runs without taking a wicket, finishing the tournament with 17 wickets at an average of 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 surgery.[25]

Shami returned to the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 after a two-year hiatus due to a shoulder injury, but did not feature in any of the matches of the tournament.[26]

In January 2019, during the tour of New Zealand, Shami took his 100th ODI wicket, becoming the fastest Indian bowler to reach the mark in his 56th match.[27] He took nine wickets in the four ODIs he played during the series at an average of 15.33 and was named player of the series. This led to his selection for the Indian squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup[28][29][30] In June 2019, in a match against Afghanistan during the competition, Shami took a hat-trick.[31] He became the second Indian bowler after Chetan Sharma to claim a hat-trick in a World Cup match.[32][33][34] Later in the competition he took his first ODI five-wicket haul.[35] Although he played in only four matches in the competition he took 14 wickets. He had the best bowling strike rate of 15.07 and the best average of 13.78 of all the bowlers of the tournament.[36]

T20I career

Shami made his Twenty20 International debut in March 2014 against Pakistan in the opening match of the 2014 ICC World Twenty20, taking the wicket of Umar Akmal. He was included in the side for the 2014 tour of England, playing on the final match of the series and taking three wickets.[37]

Shami returned to the squad for the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 after spending more than two years recuperating from the shoulder injury.

He was selected in the Indian squad for the 2021 World T20.[38]


Bowling Style

Shami is originally a right arm fast bowler who consistently bowls at around 145 to 150 km/h (90 to 93 mph), moving the ball off the seam and using swing, including reverse swing.[39]

The wrist: While Shami's run-up and action are fairly smooth, the secret of his success lies in his wrist. There are very few fast bowlers in the world who can claim to have the wrist firm and straight behind the ball every single time they bowl. Shami is one of them. His wrist is firmly cocked at the point of delivery and his slightly split fingers come down so straight that the seam invariably comes out bolt upright.[40]

Other styles: Shami is unique, for he is neither a swing bowler nor a hit-the-deck-hard bowler. He is somewhere in between, and that adds to the problems of a batsman facing him. Though Shami doesn't swing the ball prodigiously, he gets it to shape away in the air, and more importantly, off the surface. The upright seam and his speed (in the low 140kphs) ensure that the ball only moves in the air after about two-thirds of the way to where it lands. His position at the crease (close to the stumps), high-arm release, and lack of significant lateral movement in the air force the batsman to play the straight line. Shami has the ability to make the ball move sideways after pitching without the seam breaking or wobbling, which means it frequently either finds the bat's edges or slips through the gap between bat and pad.[41]

Bharat Arun, Indian bowling coach, said on the bowling style of Shami ---

"On wearing fourth-innings pitches he is dangerous because he consistently bowls at around 140 kmph, seams the ball, swings it including reversing it, is skiddy and is always on target. He is at the batsman all the time. He consistently bowls just outside off, the fourth-stump line, and moves the ball away or brings it in from there. This means he is making the batsman play all the time.”[42]


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.[43][44][45][46] Further, Shami was charged for attempted murder, rape and adultery which was claimed by his wife, Hasin Jahan.[47][48][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][49] On 22 March 2018, the BCCI cleared Shami's central contract after its Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) cleared him of corruption charges.[50][51]

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.[52] He had 15 days as of the issuance of the warrant to surrender.[52] 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.[53]
