PM Modi also congratulated Shami for his bowling in a separate post.
"The bowling by @MdShami11 in this game and also through the World Cup will be cherished by cricket lovers for generations to come," he wrote.
Apart from him, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also congratulated Team India while Mumbai Police and Delhi Police engaged in humourous banter over Shami's scintillating performance. Have a look at the tweets below:
Before Shami's masterclass in the second innings, Virat Kohli also rewrote record books with his 50th ODI ton to go past former India batter Sachin Tendulkar's long-standing world record of 49 ODI tons.
With the century, Virat also crossed Sachin's record of most runs in an ODI World Cup which the latter had set in the 2003 ODI World Cup. Kohli now has 711 runs in the ongoing World Cup in 10 matches with the final still to be played while Sachin had scored 673 runs in the 2003 edition.
