“There is a lot of hard work involved, you have to work on your fitness. You have to work hard in the nets. When you have the rhythm and the bounce and seam position is good, you get the results. There’s always good bounce on the Mumbai wickets. I bowled in the good areas and got the rewards. I planned with Hardik to keep one slip in place,” Shami said in the mid-innings break.
“The ball was moving a bit and the idea was to keep bowling in the tight off stump channel. If everyone contributes a bit, then it will be really good for the confidence of the players. We have done well to bundle out Australia for 188 and we should be able to chase it down. I get to know from the seam as to how well I am holding the ball,” he added.
Meanwhile, Shami will be seen in action for the Gujarat Titans in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. The senior pacer played a crucial role in his side’s triumph in the previous edition as the Titans will be hoping to get a similar kind of performance from their veteran in upcoming tournament as well.
