Watch: Mohammed Shami's Farmhouse Under Tight Security As Hundreds Gather For Photo With Indian Cricket Team Star

Mohammed Shami's performance at the Cricket World Cup 2023 was a major reason behind the Indian cricket team's smooth sailing till the final. The fast bowler missed the first few matches in the Cricket World Cup but that did not stop him from finishing as the top wicket-taker at the Cricket World Cup. Mohammed Shami, who finished on top of the bowling charts with 24 wickets from seven matches in the ODI World Cup, has been India's go-to bowler in ODIs and Tests. His popularity has surged after the Cricket World Cup.

Mohammed Shami had humble beginnings growing up in Uttar Pradesh. He then played national-level cricket for Bengal before making it to the Indian cricket team. Mohammed Shami recently opened up about his hobbies and his growing up years.

"I like travelling, fishing. I like driving a lot. I like driving bike and cars. But after playing for India, I have stopped driving bikes. What if I get injured? I drive bike on highways, may be sometimes in village when I go to meet my mom," Mohammed Shami said on PUMA's YouTube channel.

"Zameen se hi aaya hu. Kheto ki jo booghi hoti hai, I have driven tractor, bus, trucks. I have driven bus in truck. One of my school friends had a truck in his house. He told me to drive. I was small then and was driving on a ground. I drove our tractor into the pond too. My father scolded me."

Mohammed Shami is now a very popular figure in his hometown and it was visible from the way hundreds of his fans gathered at his farm house for a photo with him. IN a video posted by Mohammed Shami recently it could be seen that the security was spruced up as hundreds gathered.
