IND v ENG, World Cup 2023: Mohammed Shami climbs priority ladder in power-packed Indian bowling unit
World Cup 2023, India vs England: Mohammed Shami made a statement with his sensational spells of fast bowling on Sunday. The famous upright seam was on display as Shami made life difficult for the English batters, whipping up a storm in Lucknow.
It was a fast-bowling masterclass in Lucknow on Sunday from Mohammed Shami. The veteran Indian pacer, with his famous upright seam, was making the England batters dance in the middle. Those 7 overs, split across a couple of spells, were worthy of featuring on Day 1 of a Test match.
“In an era of wobble and cross seam exponents, watching Shami bowl is a master class of seam position and lateral movement,” remarked legendary Ian Bishop, echoing the joy that millions drew from watching the Indian pacer whip up a storm in Lucknow.
Mohammed Shami stole the show in India’s dominant 100-run win over England in a World Cup 2023 match in Lucknow, picking up his 6th four-wicket haul in World Cups. 7 overs, 4 wickets, 22 runs and 2 maidens were his figures and it came days after his five-wicket haul against New Zealand in Dharamsala.
It was not the easiest of pitches for the batters in Lucknow, but India were in need of a solid start with the ball after they managed only 229 on the board in their quota of 50 overs. Rohit Sharma looked fluent during his 87 and Suryakumar Yadav played a brisk knock for his 49 but India huffed and puffed their way to a competitive total after batting first for the first time in the tournament.
Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow got off to a decent start as Mohammed Siraj offered a few freebies to the the England openers. The crowd went silent after a flurry of boundaries at the top, knowing India did not have a big total to defend.
However, it was Jasprit Bumrah who got the crowd roaring again, sending back Dawid Malan and Joe Root in successive deliveries.
