New Delhi. Mohammad Shami bowled brilliantly for India in the World Cup 2023. He played an important role in taking India to the finals. During an interview, Mohammad Shami was asked who is the best bowler of India. Shami gave a different answer to this question. He called neither Jasprit Bumrah nor Zaheer Khan but himself as the best bowler of India.
During the interview, Shubhankar asked Shami, who is the best bowler in India? Right now? I believe that I am the best bowler. Our unit has been me, Jassi (Bumrah), Ishant was also in it, Bhuvneshwar was also in it, Umesh Yadav was also in it. These 5-6 of us together, I think no unit in the world would have enjoyed as much as this unit has. I believe.. I do not believe in number 1 or number 2. As a person, as a player, as a unit, the unit of 5-6 people that was formed in my life was the best.
