Mohammed Shami slams media outlet for running fake retirement news about him

The entire Indian cricket paradigm is currently shifted towards big discussions and debates after the abrupt Test retirement of two legends of the game, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Both stalwarts announced their retirement from the longest format within just five days, from May 7 to May 12.

Meanwhile, what attracted the eyeballs and caught the attention of the Indian cricket fans was star India pacer Mohammed Shami’s reaction to a fake retirement news about him. Shami took to his Instagram handle to share a story in which he brutally slammed a cricket news website for running fake news.

“Very well done Maharaj, apna job k din bhi gin lo kitna adieu hai, badme dekh le hamara, aap jaise ne satyiyanash kar diya future ka, kabi toh achha bol liya kare, aaj ka sabse kharab story, sorry (Very well done man, also count the days of your job, how much is adieu, can look at us later, people like you have completely ruined the future, try to speak good at least sometimes, today’s worst story, sorry),” wrote Mohammed Shami in his Instagram story while lashing out at the news website for running his retirement’s fake news.
