Team India star pacer Mohammed Shami has taken a dig at the Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh. After winning the World Cup against India, a pic of Mitchell Marsh resting his feet on the World Cup trophy went viral on social media platforms. To note, Mitchell Marsh also received a lot of flak from the Indian fans after the pic of him resting his feet on the prized trophy went viral.

To note, Mohammed Shami finished as the highest wicket-taker in the World Cup with 24 scalps. Despite his heroics with the ball, the express pacer could not help Team India lift the prized possession. Meanwhile, Shami stated that he is not happy with Mitchell Marsh’s actions and this is the trophy that a person would want to lift over his/her head.

“I am hurt. The trophy for which all the teams in the world fight, the trophy which you want to lift over your head, keeping a foot on that trophy did not make me happy,” said Shami.
