At 34, Indian cricket star Mohammed Shami attributes his athletic endurance to a unique fitness routine of consuming just one meal a day. Despite the challenges, Shami's commitment has become a testament to his discipline.

Following an ankle injury in the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia, Shami faced a 14-month hiatus from international cricket. Yet, his return was nothing short of remarkable, securing five wickets against Bangladesh and marking a record-breaking 200 ODI wickets in the Dubai Champions Trophy.

After a difficult recovery, where he shed nine kilograms gained during inactivity, Shami now approaches a critical match against Pakistan, bearing significant responsibility for India's success. Though he adheres strictly to his regimen, he occasionally indulges in biryani.
