While Shami leads the charts for India with eight wickets, mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy also matched the tally early on in the final in only his fourth appearance in the tournament. Chakaravarthy and Henry had picked up identical figures of 5/42 each during India and New Zealand’s league-stage clash at the same venue last Sunday. Meanwhile, Shami opened his Champions Trophy campaign with a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh and backed it up with impressive performances against the Kiwis and Australia in the semi-final.
Overall, Pakan’s Hasan Ali (2017) and West Indies’ Jerome Taylor (2006) hold the record for most wickets in a Champions Trophy edition, with 13 scalps in their respective seasons.
