India fast bowler Mohammed Shami turns 30 today and birthday wishes have poured in from all corners of the country for the speedster. Shami is part of the pace attack that helped India stay No. 1 in the ICC Test rankings for a long time. He picked up a hat-trick in the 2019 World Cup – the only Indian bowler to do so. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a video of Shami’s spell of 5/35 against South Africa in 2019 and wished him a happy birthday.
