Star pacer Mohammad Shami spoke his feelings out his heart when he was recalling an incident from the Indian Premier League 2022, where Hardik Pandya shouted at him. It is to be note that both of them were playing for Gujarat Titans at that time. Pandya, who was the captain of the side, lost his cool on the field and went to a senior player Shami as the fast bowler didn’t go for a catch while fielding at third man. Since, at that time, Gujarat Titans was in some desperate need of wickets, Shami’s low effort made Pandya get a bit angry.
“I usually don’t respond to such things, but when things get too bad, then I do speak up. We have a good connection and are friends. He didn’t realize it at that moment. We’ve known each other for almost 10 years. He told me, ‘I swear, I don’t know what I’ve said.’ Crores of people watch us on screen, we need to control our emotions,” Shami said.
Before this, Shami had expressed his shock over the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the T20I format. He said that filling the void of their absence in the team is going to be a tough task.
A short time after India won its second T20 World Cup at Kensington Oval, Kohli was awarded as player-of-the-match and he said this was the last T20 of his international career.
Later on, Rohit also put up his hands in the post-match conference and announced that he is going to joining Virat Kohli and is also ending his T29I career.
