1/ 8
Can you imagine playing in the Indian cricket team for three years under a different name without being known by your own name? That is how Shami’s cricket career begins. From Shami Ahmed to Muhammad Shami, fans don’t need a single name to remember the face of this star. Mohammad Shami has created so many fans in the World Cup now.
Shami is now going to be known through records. Shami has already etched his name in the record books as one of India’s best fast bowlers of this generation. His excellence in the game starts from his debut match in 2010. Each ball evokes Shami’s unparalleled talent. In 2023, he took 7 wickets in the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand and became a permanent fixture in the fans’ minds.
Shami is a star who has been in the news since his early days. From a name error to an ‘unplayable’ bowler, Shami has been relegated. But no one thought he would be in the World Cup or become the best wicket taker currently. His contributions to the Indian cricket team, especially in this year’s tournament, are many. Shami has become a giant in Indian cricket. With his seven-wicket haul, he has brought India to the hope of reaching the final.
Last day’s 7 wicket win against New Zealand was astonishing. Shami has been showered with congratulations on social media.
Not many people know that Mohammed Shami started his cricket career with the name Shami Ahmed. It took him 3 years to reveal his real name to the world. What a relief he must have felt when he told the world his real name. India is proud of you #MohammedShami,” wrote a user on micro-blogging site X.
At the time of his debut for India, the cricketing world called him Shami Ahmed. But he had clarified to a leading media that how his real name is.
“I don’t know how I got that tail in my name. “I am Mohammed Shami, not Shami Ahmed,” he clarified. But till November 2013, he played for the team for three years under a false name.
“I was never named Ahmed. My name is Mohammad Shami, it should be so”. said Mohammad Shami. But today, Mohammad Shami’s name is written in the hearts of Indian people.
