Shami also has registered two half-centuries in the longest format of the game, both coming against England. He has often been a part of some match-saving, entertaining partnerships.

Mohammed Shami had a dream run in the ICC World Cup 2023 in India last year. He finished off the tournament as the leading wicket-taker with 24 wickets in just seven outings. In the semi-finals of the mega event, He bagged seven wickets against New Zealand at Wankhede Stadium.
