In a recent X post, former Indian cricketer and head coach, Ravi Shastri, took a moment to celebrate Mohammad Shami's remarkable bowling performance in the on-going match against Australia. 

Shastri's tweet read, "Shami ji. Kya ball dala hai Smith ko. 🙏🙏🙏 #INDvsAUS #MohaliODI."

Here's the tweet:

The tweet quickly garnered attention from cricket enthusiasts and fans alike. Shami's delivery to dismiss Australian batsman Steve Smith evidently left a lasting impression on Shastri. The coach's use of "Shami ji" signifies respect and admiration for the bowler's skills and dedication.

Shami, known for his exceptional pace and swing, has been a vital asset to the Indian cricket team. His ability to deliver crucial breakthroughs in challenging situations has earned him accolades from experts and fans alike.

The pivotal moment occurred in the 22nd over of the first innings when Australia was aiming to establish a strong partnership. Shami, known for his ability to create movement and generate speed, delivered a ball that appeared to defy the laws of physics. The ball exhibited late movement and significantly changed its trajectory after hitting the pitch, leaving Smith utterly perplexed.

When the ball ultimately crashed into the stumps, having taken an inside edge off Smith's bat, the dismissal of the renowned Australian batsman was a mesmerizing spectacle for cricket enthusiasts and a testament to Shami's extraordinary skills. Smith's wicket represented a vital breakthrough for India, as he had been comfortably settled at 39 runs after facing 49 deliveries.

Shastri's tweet not only praised Shami's talent but also highlighted the excitement and enthusiasm that cricket generates in the hearts of millions. It serves as a reminder of the extraordinary moments that make cricket a beloved sport in India and around the world.
