Champions Trophy: Shami Becomes Fastest Indian Bowler To Reach 200 ODI Wickets
Champions Trophy Group: Veteran pacer Mohammed Shami became the fastest Indian bowler to pick 200 wickets in men’s ODIs when he clinched 5-53 in the 2025 Champions Trophy Group A match against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday.
Ahead of the match, skipper Rohit Sharma had said he wasn’t bothered by Shami's picking just one ODI wicket in the two matches he played against England earlier this month and expressed confidence in him delivering for the team on a big occasion.
Rohit’s words were made true by Shami when he got his 200th ODI scalp in the form of Jaker Ali, who toe-ended a slog off a wide slower ball to long-on in the 43rd over. It meant Shami reached the milestone in 104 matches, overtaking current chief selector Ajit Agarkar’s record of reaching the 200 wickets mark in 133 matches.
