There are some records and milestones that can be achieved by the Indian players in this ODI series.
#5 Mohammed Shami approaching 100 wickets in ODIs
When Mohammed Shami first arrived at the world stage, he was viewed more as a white-ball bowler but soon transformed himself into one of the best pacers in the world in Test match cricket. His records in limited-overs cricket for India, particularly ODIs, have been very good but injury concerns made his presence in the coloured clothing little less than it should have.
Having made his debut way back in 2013, he has played only 52 ODIs for India. Given the number of ODIs that India usually plays, the appearances by Shami are few.
He recently made his return to the ODI format as the selectors want an experienced pacer to bolster the bowling attack and don't want to solely rely on Bhuvi and Bumrah
Shami requires six more wickets to complete 100 wickets in ODIs.
