NEW DELHI: Veteran India and Gujarat Titans pacer Mohammed Shami on Friday joined the elite 100-wicket club in the Indian Premier League, when he dismissed Chennai Super Kings batter Devon Conway in the 2023 season opener.
Shami became the 19th bowler to achieve the feat in the tournament.
Shami gave hosts and defending champions Gujarat Titans a brilliant start by removing the CSK opener in the third over of the contest. It was also the first wicket to fall in the new season.
The pacer castled Conway’s stumps with a peach of a delivery for just 1, reducing CSK to 14/1 in 2.2 overs. Conway failed to read Shami’s delivery and ended up missing the ball completely and the stumps went flying into the air.
