Calcutta : The selectors don’t remember his name anymore – but what is in his hands is the performance And Mohammed Shami is showing that again and again Shami gave the best performance of his career in Ranji Mohammed Shami is credited with giving Bengal a 26-run first innings lead against Jammu and Kashmir in the Ranji semi-final.
Against Jammu and Kashmir, he kept this figure of 8/90 in the first innings Shami bowled this brilliantly in the Ranji semi-final organized in Kalyani Shami sent two openers back to the pavilion for 13 runs Then took a total of 8 wickets Despite all this, Shami may not be seen in the jersey of the Indian team! Sourav Gangopadhyay raised a question about that.
Cricketers like Mohammed Shami are out of the national team. The Bengal pacer took 8 wickets in one innings in the semi-finals of the Ranji Trophy. Sourav stood next to Sami once again. Ishan Kishan is back after a long absence from the national team. Bratya even after Shami performed. Maharaj raised questions about the role of selectors.
Sourav also spoke about the T20 World Cup. He said that India is one of the strongest teams in T20 World Cup. The team has all the ingredients to become champions. Just played against a full member. Performed well against Pakistan. The real fight starts from Super Eight. He said that it is difficult to predict which team will be the champion in 20-over cricket. The game can turn around in 5 overs. Apart from India, South Africa is also a very good team, Saurabh said. He also said that Sri Lanka is playing very good cricket. Sourav likes West Indies, New Zealand too.
