Mohammed Shami entered his name in the history books on Thursday, February 20, by becoming the second Indian bowler to take a five-wicket haul in the Champions Trophy. The 34-year-old pacer from Amroha achieved the feat during India’s first match of the 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy, which is currently underway at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Shami, who is making his Champions Trophy debut for India on Thursday, picked his first wicket on the last ball of the first over of the match. On the second ball of his fourth over, Shami dismissed Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and then on the fourth ball of the 43rd over of the Bangladesh innings, Shami got rid of Jaker Ali, who scored 68 runs from 114 balls.
Jaker was caught by Virat Kohli, and his dismissal helped Shami become the second-fastest bowler to take 200 wickets in ODIs and also break Zaheer Khan’s record to become India’s most successful bowler in ICC white-ball tournaments.
