Shami, India’s premier fast bowler, received the award from President Draupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhawan, and in a heartfelt Instagram post, expressed his deep gratitude to everyone who supported him during his journey, including coaches, the BCCI, his family, and most importantly, his dedicated fans.
