India's Captain Virat Kohli (R) congratulating teammate Mohammed Shami after his five-wicket haul at the end of the England innings during the 2019 Cricket World Cup group stage match between England and India at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Sunday — AFP Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers for India, taking his maiden five-wicket haul in One-Day International (ODI) cricket in the India vs England World Cup 2019 match in Birmingham on Sunday, reports NDTV.
Despite being a touch expensive, Mohammed Shami dismissed England's centurion Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, skipper Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes to help India keep England from scoring over 350 runs. Mohammed Shami's five-wicket haul comes after he claimed four wickets each in the previous two matches, which included a World Cup hat-trick. He finished with the figures of 5/69 as England posted 337/7 in 50 overs at Edgbaston. He has picked a total of 14 wickets from three matches at the World Cup 2019 thus far.
The WC 2019 has been fruitful for Shami, even though he was preferred in India's playing XI after his fellow new ball bowlers Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar.
