Shami’s emphatic performance with the ball
Shami delivered a stellar performance throughout the 2025 Champions Trophy, proving to be a game-changer for the team with his timely breakthroughs. He kicked off the tournament in spectacular fashion, taking a remarkable 5-wicket haul against Bangladesh.
However, it was in the knockout stages where Shami truly emerged as a match-winner for the Indian team. In the semi-final against Australia, he claimed three pivotal wickets, including that of captain Steve Smith, the dangerous Cooper Connolly, and pacer Nathan Ellis—each strike coming at a crucial juncture. His brilliance continued into the final, where he dismissed the well-set Daryl Mitchell, who had been looking menacing at the crease. Shami’s key contributions were instrumental in India’s path to victory.
