谁is a polyphonic character. nà shì shuí & nà shì shéi both are correct. I prefer to pronounce shuí because it’s more formal.
According to the derivation of Chinese historical phonetic system, the correct pronunciation in ancient time should be “shuei”. Later people simplified the writing into the same prononciation “shui”.
But this pronunciation is a little bit difficult for Chinese to pronounce, so some people prefer to change to "shei". More and more people like this easier folk pronunciation.
Now the Chinese Dictionary accepts both. “shui” is more common in formal occasions and poetry recitation. “shei” is more life-oriented and more common in television programs and daily life.
