Mohammed Shami, who was benched for the first four games before emerging as India's major weapon in the ODI World Cup, is undoubtedly enjoying his best form yet.
When Shami was added to the squad for the game against New Zealand, he seized the chance. This was Shami's second World Cup goal; his first came in Dharamsala against New Zealand.
He finished the job by dismissing Charith Asalanka, Dushan Hemantha, Angelo Mathews, Dushmantha Chameera, and Kasun Rajitha. Sri Lanka was all out for 55 as India amassed a whopping 302-run victory.
When opener Pathum Nissanka was dismissed off the first delivery of the Lankan innings by Jasprit Bumrah, the collapse had begun. Mohammed Siraj then went on.
Virat Kohli missed out on a record-tying 49th ODI century earlier, but Indian batsmen revelled on a level surface as they amassed a massive 357 for 8 against Sri Lanka.
The right-arm bowler became the best wicket-taker for India (45) in World Cup history after taking 14 wickets in just three games. Shami achieved the milestone in just 14 matches.
