Star India pacer Mohammed Shami starred in a special video posted by the Cricket Association of Bengal after his match-winning effort in the Ranji Trophy match against Uttarakhand, just a day after chief selector Ajit Agarkar said that he was yet to attain match fitness.<\/p>\n

Shami<\/span> showed his class with a fiery spell on the final day, grabbing four wickets to propel Bengal to a commanding eight-wicket win against Uttarakhand in their <\/span>Ranji<\/span> Trophy Group C clash on Saturday, October 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shami<\/span>, embroiled in a subtle war of words with <\/span>Agarkar<\/span> over his omission from India\u2019s ODI team for the Australia tour, let his bowling speak for him on the final day of the <\/span>Ranji<\/span> Trophy clash.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am here to stay,” Shami said in a social media post by the CAB.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen hard work meets experience, results look like this! <\/span>\ud83d\ude4c<\/span> Well done <\/span>Bengal<\/span> boys,” Shami posted on his social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Resuming the final day at 165\/2 with captain Kunal Chandela batting on 68 and Bhupen Lalwani on 12, Uttarakhand lost the plot once Shami got into his rhythm.<\/p>\n

The star Indian pacer made the most of the morning conditions, finishing with 4\/38 from under 25 overs, while Akash Deep and Ishan <\/span>Porel<\/span> picked up two wickets each as Uttarakhand were dismissed for 265.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shami<\/span> first trapped <\/span>Chandela LBW<\/span>\u00a0for 72 to kickstart the collapse, then came back after lunch to take down Abhay Negi, <\/span>Janmejay<\/span> Joshi and <\/span>Rajan<\/span> Kumar in a scorching spell.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a steady 173\/2, Uttarakhand lost their last eight wickets for just 92 runs to be bowled out for 265.<\/p>\n

Former Himachal Pradesh opener Prashant Chopra (82) and <\/span>Chandela<\/span> were the only batters to resist, adding some respectability to Uttarakhand\u2019s total before the innings ended in the 97th over.<\/span><\/p>\n
