Wishes have been pouring in on social media for the fast bowler, from captain Virat Kohli to teammate Shikhar Dhawan. Making his India debut in 2013, Shami has emerged into one of the vital cogs in the Indian setup.

Shami was also the second-highest wicket-taker at both the 2015 and 2019 World Cups. Whether it’s his splendid Test spells in England and Australia or a magnificent hat-trick against Afghanistan last year during the World Cup 2019, Shami is unplayable.
