In a city where cricket is nothing short of a religion, the Wankhede Stadium transformed into a cathedral of chants and cheers as fans witnessed an epic tale of comeback etched by Mohammed Shami.

IND vs SL: Wankhede erupted in chants for India's comeback king Mohammed Shami

From the depths of the bench to the peak of World Cup glory, Shami's story has been incredibly inspiring. On Thursday in Mumbai, the sea of blue in the stands erupted, not with waves, but with a tempest named Shami.

The rhythmic roar of "Shami…Shami" echoed through the Wankhede as the right-arm speedster cut through the Sri Lankan batting line-up with pace and precision. His blistering spell of 5 for 18 was not just a display of high-calibre cricket; it was a spectacle of sheer willpower and determination.

As social media buzzed with viral snippets of the crowd's fervent support for Shami, it was clear that the cricketer had not just won the match but the hearts of millions. 

The chants were more than just cheers; it was a celebration of Shami's incredible spirit in the face of adversity.

Meanwhile, Shami's journey through the three World Cups has been a portrait of redemption. With 45 wickets in just 14 games, averaging an astounding 12.91, he's not just bowled over the opposition. Still, he has also rewritten history, going past the records of erstwhile pace legends Zaheer Khan and Javagal Srinath.

As India basked in the glory of the 302-run victory over Sri Lanka, it was Shami, the man benched in the first four games, who stood tallest. The Indian team will hope that the veteran pacer carries on the same form in the rest of the games, starting with their upcoming clash against South Africa on Sunday, November 5.
