In a bizarre turn of events, Indian pace bowler Mohammed Shami bowled the joint-longest over by an Indian in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) during the ongoing match against Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy.
Shami’s 11-ball over, which included 5 wides, will go down in the record books as one of the most unusual overs in Indian cricket history. The over, which was the 1st over of Pakistan’s innings, saw Shami struggle to find his rhythm, bowling a series of wayward deliveries that sailed wide of the wicket or over the batsman’s head.
Shami became the third Indian player to bowl an 11-ball over in ODIs, following Irfan Pathan and Zaheer Khan. The joint-longest over by an Indian in ODIs is a rare feat, and Shami’s achievement will likely be remembered for years to come. However, it’s worth noting that this record is not one that Shami will be proud of, given the unusual circumstances in which it was achieved.
Despite the unusual nature of this record, Shami will be looking to bounce back from this performance and deliver a strong showing in the remainder of the match. The Indian team will need Shami to be at his best if they are to contain Pakistan’s batting lineup and emerge victorious.
