Something About Shami

“Shami never wanted money. His goal was the stumps, the sound that comes from hitting the stumps. Ever since I saw him, most of his wickets were bowled. He bowls with an upright seam, on or just outside off stump, and gets it to cut back in.”

Controversy

Domestic abuse allegations

In March 2018, a First Information Report was lodged against Shami and members of his family by his wife, Hasin Jahan, citing domestic violence and adultery.

A claim of rape was also made against Shami’s elder brother. Shami was charged with offences relating to domestic violence, attempted murder, poisoning and criminal intimidation.

Shami denied all of the allegations, claiming that they were a conspiracy and had been made to distract him from cricket. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) with held Shami from their national contracts list as a result of the allegations.

His wife also claimed that Shami had been involved in match fixing. This was investigated by the anti-corruption unit run by the BCCI and on 22 March the board reinstated Shami’s national contract, clearing him of the corruption charges.

Victim of online abuse

In October 2021, Shami, the only Muslim player in India’s side at the time, became victim to an online trolling campaign and was subjected to a range of abuse, much of it Islamophobic on social media following India’s loss to Pakistan during the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. 

He had conceded 43 runs during the match and was India’s most expensive bowler. Several current and former cricketers, including India’s captain Virat Kohli, publicly supported Shami following the abuse, with Kohli specifically addressing the Islamophobic nature of the abuse Shami had received.

 

IPL

Shami was signed by KKR, an Indian Premier League, in 2011; Kolkata’s head coach Dav Whatmore had worked with the Bengal Cricket Association and had identified Shami, who had played Twenty20 matches for Bengal, as a player with potential.

He played a single match for the side in the 2011 Champions League twenty20, but despite being touted as a player likely to make an impact ahead of the 2012 tournament, he did not play in the IPL until 2013, making three appearances for Kolkata during the season.

In the 22021 season, Shami took 19 wickets in 14 matches and finished as Punjab’s leading wicket-taker for the third straight season and as the fifth highest wicket-taker in that year’s competition. 

During the season he became the fourth bowler in franchise history to take 50 wickets for Punjab. Ahead of the 2022 IPL auction he was, however, released by the side. He was purchased by Gujarat Titans, a newly formed franchise, for 6.25 crore(US$780,000) from the marquee group of players.

He took 20 wickets at an economy rate of 8.00 runs per over during the season as Gujarat won the league title in their first season.
