(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Mohammed Shami had an exceptional year, playing a pivotal role in numerous victories for the Indian team in 2023. Notably, his remarkable performance in the ODI World Cup 2023 stood out, where he emerged as the leading wicket-taker despite missing a few matches.
On Tuesday, Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami was honoured with the prestigious Arjuna Award, recognising his outstanding contributions to Indian cricket. The award was conferred by President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan, acknowledging Shami's stellar performance throughout the year.
The Board of Control for cricket in India had nominated Shami for this esteemed honour, a gesture that brought immense joy to the accomplished pacer.
