Jasprit Bumrah Takes Jokes To Heart: Mohammed Shami
“We like pulling each other’s leg. I enjoy it. Bumrah is slightly different, he doesn’t joke around much. He sometimes takes it to heart. But Umesh, Bhuvi and Ishant – we are a deadly combination.”
The current India pace attack is recognized as among the best in the modern era. The veteran fast bowler further added that players comprehend each other well and know how to support and back each other during the game.
We Have Enough Attacking Options With The Ball: Mohammed Shami
“We’ve been playing as a unit for few years now,” Shami said. Whoever we is bowling with, our aim is to leave the other (bowling from the other end) with enough attacking options. If you aren’t liking the way the ball is acting, be defensive and let the other attack. The main thing is we all like to attack. Neither of us likes to be defensive” said Shami.
