Mohammed Shami wasn't part of India's original playing XI in the World Cup but an injury to Hardik Pandya opened a slot for the pacer
Shami took the World Cup by storm from his very first outing and is the leading wicket taker with 23 scalps in just 6 matches
3 of the top 5 bowling figures in this year's edition belong to Shami. This includes two 5-wicket hauls and a 7-wicket haul
Shami took 7 wickets for 57 runs in the semifinal vs New Zealand and it is the best bowling figures in ODI World Cup 2023
Shami blew away Sri Lanka with a fifer and gave away just 18 runs in the league match. These are the second-best figures on the list
Before taking 7 wickets in the semifinal, Shami decimated the Kiwis in a league match as well and ended with 5/54. These figures are 5th on the list.
