Indian right-arm fast bowler Mohammed Shami turned 30 on Thursday. Hailing from a remote village in Uttar Pradesh, the pacer made his way into the Bengal Ranji side and ultimately the national side in 2013. Today, he is considered to be one of the best speedsters that India has produced.

A number of wishes poured in for the bowler on his birthday from the cricketing fraternity. India cricket team skipper Virat Kohli led the greetings on Twitter with a hearty message.
Teammate Shikhar Dhawan posted a picture with the birthday boy to convey his greetings and also wished him luck for the upcoming IPL season.
Fellow fast bowler Ishant Sharma shared a cake smeared picture with Shami on the occasion and wrote, "Have a great day and the best year ahead!" Batsman Ajinkya Rahane too shared an on-field image on Twitter.
