In the opening match of the IPL season 2023, Mohammad Shami of the Gujarat Titans achieved a significant milestone by taking his 100th wicket in the tournament. Shami achieved this feat when he dismissed Devon Conway of the Chennai Super Kings in the first over of the match.
Shami is widely regarded as one of the most talented fast bowlers in the world, and his performance in the IPL over the years has been a testament to his skill and consistency. He has played for several teams in the tournament, including Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) before joining Gujarat Titans this season.
Shami’s 100th IPL wicket came in his 94th match in the tournament, making him only the 18th player to achieve this feat. The achievement is a testament to his longevity and consistency in the tournament, which has seen him play against some of the best batsmen in the world.
Shami’s wicket of Devon Conway was also significant in the context of the match. Conway is a dangerous batsman, known for his ability to score quickly and build big partnerships. By dismissing him early in the match, Shami gave his team a much-needed advantage and put pressure on the Chennai Super Kings’ batting lineup.
The wicket was a perfect example of Shami’s skill as a fast bowler. He bowled a beautiful delivery that swung in sharply and caught Conway off guard, resulting in him being bowled for just 1 run off 6 balls.
