Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has lauded centurion Shubman Gill, who dug deep, scored the slowest ODI hundred and India’s slowest in the last six years and steered India’s chase and remained unbeaten on 101 off 129 balls. Gill hit nine fours and two sixes in his knock. “For the past three years, since Shubman Gill came to this Indian side, he has been trying to be the next Virat Kohli. He is trying to take that legacy forward,” Mohammad Hafeez said on “Game On Hai.” Hafeez showered praise on the maturity the 25-year-old has shown against Bangladesh.

Champions Trophy first impressions: Shubman Gill’s supreme shots, Mohammed Shami’s love affair with ICC events | Cricket News

Shubman Gill celebrates after scoring century against Bangladesh. (ICC Media Zone) Nearly 36 overs separated the two shots. On a night when stroke-making wasn’t easy, Shubman Gill hit two contenders for the shot of the tournament. And at the receiving end both times was Tanzim Hasan. The first was a pick-up shot that sounded so good off the bat that it almost echoed around the stadium, and landed in the top tier for a 98m six. Standing at the other end in admiration was Rohit Sharma, one of the foremost exponents of the shot. Then late on, with the finish line in sight, he flicked one almost effortlessly for another six. “The first one gave me confidence and the second one took me closer to my first ICC event century, so both were very satisfying,” the centurion said later.

Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami, and spinners star as India beat Bangladesh in spin-friendly conditions | Cricket News

It was the start that India needed to kick off their Champions Trophy campaign. Despite having all the arsenal that makes them a formidable white-ball outfit, there were a few doubts coming into the tournament especially against a spin-heavy attack. And through the course of their six-wicket win against Bangladesh, India went about ticking all the boxes, showing their blueprint could after all be foolproof in these conditions in Dubai where other teams are likely to struggle to get used to the nature of the surfaces. More importantly, in the afternoon Mohammed Shami rediscovered his rhythm and their spin formula showed it would work wonders in these slow conditions, more so if they get a chance to bowl first. In the evening, a fluent Shubman Gill scored his second successive century in as many games, showing why there shouldn’t be any doubts over his spot in the ODI side. The batting depth — even if it means there is only one spot for their two X-factor bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy – is absolutely …

What lies behind Mohammed Shami’s march to 200 ODI wickets? A romantic heart with a sadist’s skill | Cricket News

The eyes of television cameras searched for Mohammed Shami. When they located him, he wore a shy, warm smile. He soon broke from the crowd and ambled to the run-up point, the trajectory of the next ball playing in his mind, the off-cutter that marked his two hundredth ODI wicket now a mere time-stamp on his remarkable cricketing journey. The moment suitably captured the essence of Shami the man— un-theatrical and un-obsessed with the statistical peaks, a superstar with an everyman’s persona, seam-scientist with a common man’s air. He wouldn’t have burned the midnight oil digging numbers or spent sleepless nights dreaming about his No 200, or evaluated his spot in the pantheon of India’s great fast bowlers. Such trivialities don’t fuss him. He is, at the heart, a pure romantic. The bowling is an extension of it—the flowing action, dancing as though to the percussive beats from the stands, the pliant fingers and loose, tensionless fingers coaxing the straight-seamed ball into a curvy, gyroscopic, path, and the sudden violence the ball assumes upon landing. …

IND vs BAN Champions Trophy 2025: Only Mitchell Starc has done it faster. That’s the sort of elite company Mohammed Shami has kept as he reached an impressive milestone of 200 One Day International wickets during the ICC Champions Trophy clash between India and Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday. In doing so, Shami became the fastest Indian bowler to get to the milestone in terms of matches played, comfortably smashing the record held by Ajit Agarkar who did so in 133 matches.

The record in men’s ODIs belongs to Mitchell Starc who achieved the feat in 102 matches. He didn’t stop there as Shami picked up a five-for, and celebrated it by pointing both arm raised to the sky as his teammates got around to embrace him. It was Shami’s 60th ODI wicket in an ICC event, again the most by an Indian bowler as …

IND vs BAN Champions Trophy 2025: It didn’t take long for Mohammed Shami to make his mark at the ICC Champions Trophy. After a stunning run at the last ICC event he played, leading India’s charge at the home ODI World Cup, Shami spent a long time away from the game. But in Dubai on Thursday, he started off on a perfect note, that famous upright seam resulting in a wicket in the first over against Bangladesh as Soumya Sarkar edged one behind to KL Rahul. “In the absence of Bumrah, you want someone to stand up and Shami has done it in the first over. It’s that seam position again, isn’t it? We have seen it go down absolutely perfect,” former England captain Nasser Hussain said on air. The journey back hasn’t been easy on Shami. “From being in great form during the World Cup to suddenly finding myself needing an operation — it was really difficult,” Shami told ICC in a pre-match video. “My first question to the doctor was, ‘How many days …
