India's pace spearhead, Mohammed Shami, has added another feather to his illustrious cap, bagging the coveted 'Men's Best International Cricketer' award at the second edition of the NAMAN Awards organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The award ceremony, held in Hyderabad, saw Shami recognized for his consistent brilliance across formats in the past year. His fiery spells and pinpoint accuracy have been instrumental in India's success, forming a potent partnership with Jasprit Bumrah.

More Than Just Wickets
Shami's impact extends beyond mere wicket-taking. He brings passion, aggression, and a never-say-die attitude to the field, which inspires his teammates and often turns the tide of the match. His ability to swing the ball both ways and bowl unplayable yorkers makes him a nightmare for batsmen worldwide.
Looking Ahead
With the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027 on the horizon, Shami's role in the Indian team becomes even more crucial. His experience and leadership qualities will be vital for the team's success in the marquee tournament.
