Mohammed Shami rescues road accident victim in Nainital, shares video on social media

India fast-bowler Mohammed Shami rescued a road accident victim in Nainital and shared a video of the incident on social media.

Shami posted a video on Instagram, in which he can be seen helping a road accident victim whose car fell off the road.

“He’s so lucky god gave him 2nd life. His car fell down from the hill road near Nainital just in front of my car. We took him out very safely,” Shami posted on Instagram.

Shami finished as the leading wicket-taker of the 2023 ODI World Cup, claiming 24 scalps in just seven matches. Shami missed out India’s initial matches in the league stage with Shardul Thakur and Ravichandran Ashwin being preferred over him in the starting XI.

However, all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s injury against Bangladesh presented Shami a chance to gain entry into the starting XI. The right-arm pacer grabbed his opportunity with both hands, claiming a five-wicket haul against New Zealand in Dharamshala.

Shami kept up his performance level throughout the tournament, going on to break several records. He picked up the solitary wicket of David Warner in the final but couldn’t stop the Australian juggernaut from getting their hands on the ODI World Cup trophy.

Australia beat India by 6 wickets in the final to clinch their record-extending sixth ODI World Cup title on Sunday, November 19.

In the final, India batted first and posted 240 runs on the scoreboard on the back of half-centuries from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. However, Australia opener Travis Head hit a phenomenal century to guide the Aussies to a comfortable win, with Marnus Labuschange chipping in with a gritty half-century.

India missed out on a chance to clinch their 3rd ODI World Cup title, losing the final against Australia for the second time in their history.
