New Delhi: India’s virtuoso pacer Mohammed Shami ripped through the Kiwi batting lineup and helped his side win the semi-final clash by 70 runs to make it to the finals of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
In his historical bowling spell against New Zealand, Shami breathed fire and claimed 7 crucial wickets of the black caps. His incredible bowling effort single-handedly dismantled the New Zealand team and kept the men in blue ahead in the game ever since he delivered the first ball of his spell.

Probably not because #MumbaiPolice has the apprehension that @MdShami11 is likely to commit similar assault in coming days which would possible be more lethal assault, thereby, allowing Mumbai Police to book him under more serious one..
