On this day, two years ago, India pacer Mohammed Shami scalped a hat-trick against Afghanistan and became the second Indian to do so in the 50-over World Cup after former pacer and current chief selector Chetan Sharma.

Sharma had bagged the hat-trick against New Zealand during the 1987 edition. Shami's exploits helped India register an 11-run win against Afganistan at Rose Bowl.
