India’s Victorious Win Over England in the 2023 World Cup
By Pierre Herubel
Lucknow witnessed an intense match on Sunday as India clashed with England in the sixth match of the 2023 World Cup. After winning the toss, India chose to bat and reached a total of 229/9, thanks to an exceptional knock from captain Rohit Sharma, who scored 87 runs, and some powerful hitting Suryakumar Yadav, contributing 49 runs. In response, England struggled against India’s bowling attack and were all out for just 129 runs.
The star performers for India were spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, who took a combined 3 wickets, along with Jasprit Bumrah, who also took 3 wickets. However, the standout player of the match was Mohammed Shami, who took 4 wickets, adding to his impressive 5-wicket haul against New Zealand. Shami has now taken a total of 9 wickets in just 2 matches at this World Cup. This raises the question of where Shami ranks among India’s most successful bowlers in the history of the tournament.
Following his outstanding performance against England, Shami’s World Cup wicket tally now stands at 40. This places him joint ninth-highest in World Cup history. What’s even more remarkable is that he achieved this feat in just 13 innings, with an average of slightly over 14 runs per wicket. Only Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan have taken more World Cup wickets for India, with 44 wickets each in 33 and 23 innings, respectively.
Here is a list of India’s most successful bowlers in ODI World Cups:
– Zaheer Khan: 44 wickets in 23 innings, average of 20.2, best bowling figures 4/42.
