Best Bowling Figures: Shami recorded his best bowling figures of 2 for 26 against the Kolkata Knight Riders on April 17, 2018. This performance demonstrated his ability to take wickets while maintaining a low economy rate.
Total Wickets: Over the course of the season, Shami took a total of 3 wickets in the matches he participated in. While this may not be an exceptionally high number, it indicated his role as a key bowler for his team amidst challenging conditions.
Economy Rate: Although specific economy rates per match are not provided, Shami’s ability to keep runs in check is highlighted by his figures.
