Shocking Revelations from Fast Bowler's Friend

Mohammed Shami is undoubtedly one of India's premier match-winners. Throughout various cricket formats, the fast bowler has consistently made significant contributions, playing a crucial role in India's Test series victory in Australia and daunting England and South Africa on their home turf. In major tournaments such as the 2015, 2019, and 2023 ODI World Cups, Shami has stood out as India's top wicket-taker. He holds the record as the fastest Indian to reach the milestone of 100 wickets in ODI cricket, as well as the most consecutive four-wicket hauls in the format.

However, alongside his professional successes, Shami has faced considerable challenges in his personal life, particularly stemming from his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife, Hasin Jahan. She has accused the cricketer of match-fixing and even filed a police complaint against him for domestic violence. During this difficult period, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) maintained Shami's central contract, marking a turbulent time in his career.

"During that phase, Shami was battling numerous pressures. He stayed with me at my home. When the match-fixing allegations surfaced regarding Pakistan and the ensuing investigation began, he was devastated. He expressed that he could endure everything else but not the accusation of betraying his country," Umesh Kumar, a close friend of Shami, shared on Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, 'Unplugged'.

"He was reported to have contemplated drastic actions that night. It was around 4 AM when I got up to grab some water and noticed him standing on the balcony. We were living on the 19th floor. I immediately understood the gravity of the situation. That night felt interminable for Shami. Eventually, he received a message confirming he had been cleared by the investigating committee. On that day, he seemed more elated than he would have been if he had won a World Cup," he continued.
