Australia secured their sixth title, defeating Team India in Ahmedabad with a six-wicket victory. Despite Mohammed Shami’s fiery start, claiming David Warner on the first ball, India couldn’t capitalize on the momentum. Shami, the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 24 wickets, shared his journey, including overcoming knee swelling before the 2015 edition. The PUMA brand ambassador revealed his success mantra of not inspecting the wicket closely before matches. Shami’s inspirational comeback after a knee operation saw him become India’s highest wicket-taker in the tournament and create history with 7-57 in the semi-finals. He emphasized simplicity, relaxation, and no pre-match rituals as his keys to success. Shami also supported PUMA’s Let There Be Sport initiative and highlighted the importance of nurturing talent in sports. Despite sitting out initially, he found satisfaction in the team’s performance.
