Kolkata: In the 16th season of the IPL, the pace attack of the defending champions Gujarat Titans is led by Indian veteran Mohammad Shami. With 13 wickets in eight matches of the season, Shami is fifth in the list of bowlers who have taken most wickets. Shami took three wickets in the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. Shami dismissed KKR opener N Jagadeesan (19 off 15 balls), all-rounder Shardul Thakur (0 off 4 balls) and firecracker Andre Russell (34 off 19 balls) in the last ball of the innings.
Mohammad Shami has revealed the reason behind his success in the Indian Premier League. Pacers always want swing. But in T20 cricket, the audience needs big actresses. It is nice to see the bowlers getting some help from the pitch as well as the batsmen scoring runs. It doesn’t matter whether you are bowling on a red ball or a white ball. In test matches, you need to bowl on line and length. I have said before that this is very useful. Ahead of the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Mohammad Shami stated that most of the training in the nets is to bowl on test line and length. Shami took three crucial wickets by conceding 33 runs in four overs against Kolkata.
