In a remarkable comeback, Mohammed Shami's 5 for 53 led India to a six-wicket win over Bangladesh in their Champions Trophy opener in Dubai. Shami's performance, following a 14-month injury hiatus, showcased his enduring prowess in ICC tournaments, bringing his tally to 60 wickets in 19 innings, surpassing Zaheer Khan's record. Bangladesh, initially struggling at 35/5, posted 228 thanks to Towhid Hridoy's resilient 100. India's chase was anchored by Shubman Gill's unbeaten 101, securing victory with 21 balls to spare. Shami's dedication during rehabilitation underscores his commitment to the sport.
