Mohammed Shami is often regarded as the best limited-overs bowler of India given his record in ODI cricket where which he picked up 91 wickets in 49 games but he has failed to repeat his wicket-taking skill in the T20 format on various occasions.

Though his overall Twenty20 record of 65 wickets in 61 games at a strike-rate of 18.8 seems to be a decent one, more than half of his wickets in the format have been for his state team Bengal in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament.

Mohammed Shami’s record in Twenty20s:

Tournament Matches Overs Maidens Wickets BBI Average 4WI S/R Economy
T20Is 7 23.4 0 8 3/38 31.25 0 17.75 10.56
IPL / CLT20 / India A 33 107.1 0 18 2/34 54.17 0 35.72 9.1
SM Ali T20 21 73.4 2 39 4/24 11.28 1 11.33 5.97

 

Shami picked up 39 wickets in just 21 games for his domestic side but managed to take only 18 wickets in 31 IPL games and ranks at the top among the worst economy rates, average and strike-rate lists in the tournament’s history.
