Mohammed Shami Has To Step Up For India In The WTC Final : Ricky Ponting.

India’s fast bowler, Mohammed Shami, has been displaying exceptional form in recent times. His outstanding performance in the recently concluded IPL 2023 demonstrates his prowess as a wicket-taker, securing an impressive tally of 28 wickets. Shami’s remarkable performance earned him the coveted Purple Cap, an accolade bestowed upon the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. However, the upcoming World Test Championship final (WTC Final) in England presents a unique challenge for Shami, as the conditions will be considerably different from those in India, requiring players to adapt and make a significant impact.With the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Shami will have to shoulder additional responsibility in the bowling attack. Ricky Ponting, former Australian skipper, emphasized the critical role Shami will play in India’s chances of victory, asserting that he must be at the top of his game.

Ricky Ponting said “Mohammed Shami has to step up or try to take his game to another level if India are going to win this game. When you talk to the Australian batters as well, they understand how good Shami is, whether it’s the new ball or old ball, whether it’s in Australia or India,”
