Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami turns 30 today and birthday wishes have poured in from all corners of the country for the speedster. Shami is part of the pace attack that helped India stay No. 1 in the ICC Test rankings for a long time.

He picked up a hat-trick in the 2019 World Cup – the only Indian bowler to do so. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a video of Shami’s spell of 5/35 against South Africa in 2019 and wished him a happy birthday.

North Stang Gang were lyrical in their birthday tribute. “He’s Shami! Mohammed Shami! We just don’t think you understand, he’s our go-to man, he bowls as per the plan, he rips it in as many as he can! The champion who is an inseparable part of our team, one who swings it both ways & wraps up matches in 2nd innings!” wrote North Stand Gang on Twitter.

Shami’s Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) also wished the cricketer by posting a series of pictures and videos on social media.

“@MdShami11 of House KXIP, the First of his Name, and the Breaker of the Stumps,” KXIP captioned one of their posts.

Shami has picked up 180 Test wickets from 49 matches at 27.36 and 144 wickets in 77 One-day Internationals. He made his Test and ODI debuts in 2013.
