Cricketer’s Family in Spotlight

Mohammed Shami previously entered an unwanted record in the Champions Trophy final against New Zealand in Dubai. Shami, the second-highest wicket-taker for India in the current marquee competition, found it hard to keep the Kiwis under wraps even when he had his immaculate seam position and menacing length. He returned with a solitary wicket, bowled nine overs and yielded an astonishing 74 runs. Through his pricey exhibition, Shami became India's player to have conceded the second-most runs in an inning for India during a Champions Trophy match. Only Umesh Yadav's 2/75 against South Africa at Cardiff in 2013 topped his costly figures.
