With 24 wickets after just 7 matches, Mohammed Shami emerged as the ODI World Cup 2023’s top wicket-taker. For the first four games of the competition, the Indian pacers warmed the bench. But there seemed to be nothing to stop him once he was added following Hardik Pandya’s injury.
In the World Cup, the speedster kept picking up wickets on a regular basis. After hearing some former Pakistani pacers make some amusing remarks, Shami lost his composure. They claimed that Indian fast bowlers were receiving alternative balls from the top cricket body. This was assisting them in picking wickets.
Shami had used Instagram Stories to criticise the conspiracy theories that the Pakistani players had generated. Shami, who is also a PUMA brand ambassador, talked about his feelings over the accusations.
During a conversation with PUMA, he said, “Mujhe kabhi jalan nahi hoti. Agar aap dusre ke success ko enjoy karna sikh loge toh much better player banoge aap. Main kuch nahi karta. Jo hai upar wala dene wala hai (I don’t jet jealous, if you are not enjoying others’ success then you are not learning. I only believe in what the almighty plans for me).”
Mohammed Shami roasts Pakistan journalists!
The fast bowler for Team India went on to say that Pakistani entitlement is the main reason why these kinds of conspiracy theories are born. According to Shami, a few former Pakistani cricket players believe they are the greatest and that everyone else is incapable of achieving what they have.
The Gujarat Titans fast bowler said, “Jab khel raha that World Cup, toh 5 wickets liye, 4 wickets aur fir se 5 wickets liye. Kuch Pakistan ke players ko ye baat hajam nahi ho rahi toh mai kya karu. Kyuki unke dimaag mein ye hai ki ham best hai. Bhai best woh hota hai jo time per perform kare….aap usme controversy banaya chale ja rahe ho,,ki tumhe baal kuch aur colour ki mil rahi hai..kisi aur company ki mil rahi hai….Sudhar jao yaar.”
