Mohammed Shami claims to be the strongest player in cricket. He revealed that he can lift up to 750 kgs in leg press.
New Delhi: Star Indian pacer Mohammed Shami claimed to be the strongest player in World cricket. He said that he can lift up to 750 kgs during the leg press exercise. This is a tremendous feat as the World record for the heaviest leg press is 1,367 kg which belongs to bodybuilder Paul Meeker. Shami also said that he doesn’t like to post about it on social media and that is why people are not aware of it.
“no other cricketer lifts heavier weights than me in the gym, I don’t like to post on social media so people don’t know. I can do a 750KG leg press,” said Mohammed Shami in a conversation with Aaj Tak.

Shami was a late addition to India’s playing eleven but left a huge impact thereafter. He started November with a Player of the Match performance against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, tearing through their batting lineup with sterling figures of 5-18, leaving everyone mesmerised.
His highlight of the campaign, though, came in the semi-final victory over New Zealand at the same venue in Mumbai, taking seven wickets for 57 runs and booking the hosts’ ticket to the final in Ahmedabad with the best figures for any bowler in the World Cup knockout games. During the calendar month, Shami took 15 wickets at a remarkable average of 12.06.

If you're a gambler, France just might be your side to watch for 2026. They are the tournament's early betting favorites and will likely have a squad about as good as their 2018 winners and 2022 runners-up — in other words, their “golden generation” might have at least one more deep run within them.
