Virat Kohli has this funny side to him and makes the team easy at times, and it was famous batter who coined the term ‘mohammad shami’.
Shami, who turned 34 years on Tuesday, is suspended following ankle surgery and is recuperating towards returning to playing international cricket.
On the occasion of the birthday of the left-arm pacer, Star Sports released a video on social media. Where the speedster was sitting in front of the camera in a rapid fire round facing a lot of questions.
Who gave you your nickname?
My nickname you know that while on the team, I must say, every body in the team as they called ‘lala’. This was popularized by Virat as nearly everyone bore a nickname save for myself.
On his jersey number…
I wear the jersey no 11. That is one comfortable number I must say. In fact, a lot of things when it is calculate becomes like 11 in my life.
Who are your most liked fast bowlers?
There are many. But in case you want to mention names then I would say Waqar Younis and Dale Steyn are among my favorites.
Batsmen you like to bowl….
But currently, it is also correct to say Joe Root as he operates everywhere on the cricket field.
On his most memorable moment…
I can make the best of my career when I joined the ODI team. There was a custom then to stand on a chair or a stool and make some speech. So when I stood up and started looking around at so many faces very many words completely escaped me. It was still tough for me to conceive in my mind a meeting that consisted of many powerful batsmen and many powerful bowlers. But even today I have not forgotten that meeting as well.
