I am proud to be an Indian... Mohammed Shami broke silence on 'Sajda' controversy, gave a befitting reply to trollers

Team India's star fast bowler Mohammed Shami will now be seen in the Test series against South Africa after the World Cup 2023. Shami has been selected for the Test series against Africa, but whether he will play or not will depend on his fitness. He is currently struggling with injury. Shami bowled brilliantly in the World Cup and was also the bowler taking the most wickets. During that time Shami had also taken 5 wickets. Now Shami has broken his silence on the 'Sajda' controversy. Shami said that the day I have to perform Sajdah, I will do it with style, no one can stop me from doing so. In this way, Shami has given a befitting reply to Pakistani trollers.

Actually, in the match played against Sri Lanka in the World Cup 2023, Mohammed Shami took 5 wickets and then sat on the field on his knees. Pakistani trollers trolled him a lot regarding this. Trollers said that Mohammed Shami wanted to prostrate, but due to fear, he did not do so. Shami spent the first four matches of the World Cup on the bench and took a maximum of 24 wickets in just 7 matches.

During a conversation with a news channel, Shami said that even if I wanted to do Sajdah, who would stop me from doing so? If I have to do Sajdah, I will do it… what is the problem with this? I am proud to be a Muslim and an Indian. What is the problem with this? If I have to ask someone's permission for Sajdah, then why should I stay in this country? Have I ever done this before after taking 5 wickets? I have taken 5 wickets many times. You tell me where you want to prostrate, I will go there and do it.

Shami said that in that match against Sri Lanka, he was bowling with a 200 per cent effort. That's why he was tired and sat on his knees. Regarding trollers, Shami said that such people do not belong to anyone, they want to create controversy. I believe that people who make things like this have no other work.

Due to his strong performance in the World Cup, Mohammed Shami can be honoured with the Arjuna Award this year. In the IPL, this Gujarat Titans bowler has performed brilliantly for India so far in all three formats of cricket. He will return to the Indian team in the upcoming test series against South Africa. The first test of this series will be played on Boxing Day i.e. 26th December.
