In a momentous World Cup debut, India\u2019s pace sensation, Mohammed Shami, left an indelible mark on the field as he made an immediate impact against New Zealand on Sunday. Shami\u2019s very first ball of the spell proved to be pivotal, dismissing the formidable Will Young and setting the stage for a memorable performance.<\/p>\n
With this significant wicket, Shami achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing the legendary Anil Kumble to become India\u2019s third-highest wicket-taker in the history of the ODI World Cup.<\/p>\n
The delivery that changed the course of the game was nothing short of a masterpiece. A well-pitched length ball, it gained unexpected bounce and homed in on the off-stump. Although slightly slower than expected, it proved to be too close for Young to execute the cut shot comfortably. Despite the odds, Young attempted the stroke, only to meet an unfortunate fate as the ball nicked the edge of his bat and ricocheted onto the stumps.<\/span><\/p>\n The resounding sound of timber reverberated through the stadium, signaling the end of Young\u2019s innings. Shami\u2019s celebratory roar echoed in response, a testament to the sheer magnitude of the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a momentous World Cup debut, India\u2019s pace sensation, Mohammed Shami, left an indelible mark on the field as he\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":30413,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1084],"class_list":["post-7512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-mohammed-shami"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
