The biggest match of the Champions Trophy 2025 started in such a way that hardly anyone would have been aware of. In the group match of the Champions Trophy against India on Sunday 23 February against India, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and decided to bat first. When Pakistan's batting started, star fast bowler Mohammad Shami put the first over for Team India. Now the over is of 6 balls, but this over of Shami ended after 11 balls, which surprised everyone.

It could not get the way Team India needed in this match between India and Pakistan at Dubai International Stadium.

Mohammed Shami, who took wickets in the first over in the last match against Bangladesh, was expected to perform the same this time but this time it did not happen. Rather, on the contrary, Shami was completely wandering from his line and it took him time to complete the over.

The first Indian bowler to put 5 wide

Shami started the over, but the next ball was wide and then after that she put a total of 5 wide in this over one by one. Due to this, Shami had to put 11 balls to complete the over and thus Pakistan got a good start. Although only 6 runs were scored from the over, the Pakistani openers did not appear under any pressure.

With this, Shami became the first Indian bowler, who put 5 wide in one over of ODI cricket. Also, he also became the third Indian bowler to overdo 11 balls in ODIs. Prior to him, Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan also overs 11-11 balls.

Knee injury became the reason!

However, in a short time, the reason for such bowling of Shami also became clear. In fact, during this spell, Shami looked disturbed by injury. In the middle of his third over, Shami felt some trouble in the knee, due to which the physio of Team India had to come on the field and investigate him.

Shami somehow completed this over but soon after that he returned to the dressing room. While going out of the field, it was clearly visible in Shami's trick that he was not fully fit and this was probably the reason, due to which he did not appear in Rhythm in his first spell.
