“He’s so lucky god gave him 2nd life” – World Cup hero Mohammed Shami turns savior after witnessing live car accident

Mohammed Shami became a savior while traveling to Nainital to enjoy quality time off the field after the conclusion of the 2023 World Cup.

On Saturday (November 25), Shami saved a person's life who suffered a car accident. In a video shared on Instagram, the car in front of him fell between the bushes. The pacer spearhead captioned the Instagram post:

“He’s so lucky god gave him 2nd life, his car fell down from the hill road near Nanital just in front of my car. We took him out very safely.”

On the professional front, Mohammed Shami has been rested for the ongoing five-match T20I series against Australia at home. That development came after he finished as the highest wicket-taker in the ODI World Cup, picking up 24 wickets in seven matches at an economy rate of 5.26.

In the tournament, the UP-born also became the leading wicket-taker for India in World Cup with 55 scalps. Only Lasith Malinga (56), Mitchell Starc (65), Muttiah Muralitharan (68), and Glenn McGrath (71) are ahead of him.

Shami will next be in action during the South Africa tour of India, comprising three T20Is, as many ODIs, and two Tests.
