Mohammed Shami shares picture with mother Anjum Ara as she recovers from ill health

Before the epic ICC Men's Cricket World Cup final clash between India and Australia, the mother of Indian speedster Mohammed Shami, Anjum Ara, found herself in the hospital due to severe health concerns. On the morning of the big match, Ara felt dizzy and had to be swiftly taken to the hospital. Shami, fulfilling his national cricket commitments, promptly returned home after the match and shared a heartfelt photo alongside his beloved mother.

Here's Shami's latest post on Instagram:

On the day of the championship final between India and Australia, Shami's mother experienced dizziness primarily due to anxiety. “You mean so much to me Mum. Hope you’re feeling better very soon,” Shami wrote on his Instagram handle.

Forgetful day for India in what was perfect World Cup campaign otherwise

Team India entered the championship clash against Australia riding an impressive 10-match winning streak at the ICC showpiece. Opting to bat first, they set a below par total of 240 runs, fuelled by Rohit Sharma's brisk 47 off 31 balls, followed by Virat Kohli's determined 55 off 63 deliveries and KL Rahul's conservative 66 off 107 balls.

India's bowling commenced promisingly with Shami's early dismissal of David Warner in the second over, but it was Bumrah's crucial scalps of Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh that intensified India's grip, reducing Australia to 47 for three in the seventh over. However, the tables turned when Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne formed an unwavering 192-run partnership, steering Australia towards victory.

Despite India's initial breakthroughs, Head and Labuschagne's resilient stand shifted the momentum decisively in Australia's favour, thwarting India's aspirations of maintaining their victorious streak in the summit clash. The Australian duo's partnership proved to be the turning point, propelling them to a commanding position and sealing the title for the men from down under.
