Mohammed Shami has been a revelation in the Cricket World Cup 2023. With 23 wickets in six matches, the Indian cricket team star pacer is among the top wicket-takers in the Cricket world Cup 2023.

In the semi-final against New Zealand, Mohammed Shami made history by recording the best-ever wicket haul by an Indian bowler in 50-over World Cup history.

Shami's seven-wicket haul and Virat Kohli's record 50th ODI century were the highlights as India secured a 70-wicket win over New Zealand in the semifinal of the Cricket World Cup at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.

Shami took seven wickets for 57 runs off 9.5 overs at an economy rate of 5.79. His lethal spell overshadowed Ashish Nehra's figures of 6/23 against England in the 2003 World Cup, to be the best-ever by an Indian in WC history.

Hardik Pandya made a grand return to the franchise where he had made a name for himself. But with Hardik Pandya's entry, Mumbai Indians had to free some funds for the IPL 2024 auction. They let go off star players like Cameron Green and Jofra Archer.
