Recently, Shami came under fire of fanatics for posting the image of his wife on social media, which according to the trolls was against the tenets of Islam.

Several followers advised the India speedster not to post such un-Islamic pictures of his wife and lectured the cricketer upon what his wife should wear.

Shami slammed the trolls for their comments on him and his wife's personal life and even gave them a fitting reply. The speedster asked the trolls to keep calm and stop being jealous. Shami also said that he very well knows what's into the best of him and his family.
