About Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami Ahmed is an Indian international cricketer who plays for the Indian national cricket team. He is a right-arm fast and swing and seam bowler, who consistently bowls around the 140km/h mark, which makes him a deceptively potent fast bowler. He is also known as a reverse swing specialist.

Born on 3 September 1990 (age 29 years), in Amroha. He has 131 wickets from 70 ODIs and recently reached the landmark of 150 wickets in his 42nd Test match.

In early 2018, Mohammed Shami’s wife Hasin Jahan had accused him of domestic violence. Shami and his brother were booked for the same under IPC Section 498A.

Since Hasin Jahan made the allegations, Mohammed Shami did not appear before court following which the ACJM gave the order.

Soon after Hasin Jahan went public with her allegations, she and Shami were involved in a war-of-words in the media. In April 2019, Hasin Jahan was taken into custody by police in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha in after she reached her husband’s house and created a ruckus. She was later released on bail.

In an interview with India Today earlier this year, Mohammed Shami said his focus was only on his cricket and he was determined not to let the allegations by Hasin Jahan affect him anyway.

Speaking to the media on August 29, Hasin Jahan accused the police of harassing her and added the long duration of the case has been difficult.
