10 Cricketers who kept the team ahead of their families
Cricketers have always shown that extra passion for the sport, which sometimes also came at the cost of them missing out on their family duties.
6. Mohammed Shami
Back in October 2016, while India were taking on the Kiwis in a home Test series, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami had more than just cricket running in his mind. His little daughter was admitted in the ICU and he had to go back and forth from his work location to his home in Kolkata to take care of his daughter.
His daughter Aairah was beginning to recover, but he decided to keep his cricket ahead of his family. India won that series 3-0 against New Zealand and all his teammates too were shocked to learn when they got to know he played for the country despite all of this happening. Virat Kohli said after the series that he had no idea what was happening with Shami and complimented the fast bowler for showing such spirit.
