Shami has had a phenomenal year so far. It all started in the World Cup 2019 where he bowled some wonderful spells and finished as India's second-leading wicket-taker in the tournament. His form only got better after that and he did exceedingly well in the home season for India. In the recently-concluded Test series against Bangladesh, Shami bagged 9 wickets from 2 matches.

Meanwhile, West Indies beat India comprehensively by 8 wickets in the second T20I on Sunday to draw level in the three-match series in Thiruvananthapuram. India posted a competitive total of 170 on a slightly sluggish wicket on the back of Shivam Dube's belligerent fifty and a cameo by Rishabh Pant. After conceding more than 90 runs in the initial 10 overs of the innings, it was a good comeback by Windies to pull things back and restrict India to 170. Chasing 171, Windies openers Lendl Simmons and Evin Lewis began meticulously before launching an assault on the Indian spinners. The series now moves to Mumbai for the final T20I on Wednesday, December 11.
