The supremely skilled fast bowler has won them multiple games from critical situations. One such incident was in 2019, during a World Cup clash with Afghanistan. Afghanistan were chasing 225 and they needed only 16 runs in the last over with a set Mohammad Nabi on crease. he even hit the first ball for a boundary with only 11 needed of the five remaining deliveries. But the next ball was a dot and since then Shami took three wickets in three balls to wrap up the Afghan Innings and hand India a memorable win. The match was on June 22, 2019, exactly four years ago from today.
