Mohamed Shami’s peak form era continued to leave fans around the country awestruck as the cricketer took down seven wickets in the World Cup semi-finals against New Zealand, held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The excellent performance by Shami tickled Sonu Sood’s funny bone, who has been known to be a regular supporter and cheerleader of the Indian cricket team.
Upon earning the title ‘Man of the Match’ for being the reason why India glides into the finals, Sood expressed his appreciation and joy with a social media update that read ‘Breaking News: Shami kebab banned in New Zealand’; to which the amused cricketer retweeted and responded with laughter and a heart-shaped emoji. For the uninitiated, the announcement was made in jest and had nothing to do with the popular Mughlai delicacy made with ground lamb, chana dal and spices.
