Mohammed Shami on Wednesday (January 23) became the fastest Indian bowler to reach 100 ODI wickets when he took the wicket of Martin Guptill in the first fixture between India and New Zealand at McLean Park in Napier. Shami, playing his 56th ODI, reached the figure when he got the Kiwi opener bowled in the first ODI of the five match series.
In the second over of the first ODI in Napier, Shami started with a bang and got the ball to move both ways. He had a shout for leg before on the second delivery, then went closer with an indipper but with a hint of height to it. On the fifth delivery, Shami got the inswinger and had Guptill stuck on the crease as he tried to play with hard hands. In the process, he managed a thick inside edge that went on to clatter onto the stumps
In his next over, Shami added another to go past the 100 wicket mark as well. With another bowled out dismissal, this time of Colin Munro, he put pressure on New Zealand.
