T20 World Cup 2022: Mohammed Shami's FIERY 4-wicket over in IND vs AUS warm-up match, Fans say 'King is back!'

Mohammed Shami successfully defended 11 runs off the last over in the India vs Australia warm-up match as the Men in Blue clinched victory on Monday (October 17) in Brisbane. Shami bowled only one over, which had four wickets in it, with one being a run-out. Australia were restricted to 180 after India scored 186 in the first innings. Australia needed 11 runs off the last 6 balls and Mohammed Shami was right on the money for India to spoil the Australian party.

Shami was the replacement for pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah, who recently got ruled out of the World Cup due to a back injury. However, Shami himself was struggling with an injury following up with COVID-19 and was last part of the India tour of England in July. After recovering from his injury, Shami was called up for the series against Australia and South Africa but had to sit out after testing positive for Covid-19.
