5 best short ball bowlers in the world right now

3. Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami is a dangerous customer on pacy wicketsIndian pacer Mohammed Shami is a different bowler from the rest of the players in this list. While most of the bowlers take advantage of their height in bowling shorts balls, the Bengal pacer can be deceiving with his skiddy pace. He has great control over the bouncer and slips in one or two when the batsmen is least expecting.

That is the key to his success- the surprise element. Also, the fact that his run up and action doesn’t change much when bowling a bouncer makes it even harder for the batsmen.

Despite being consistently hit with injuries, Shami has maintained his pace and aggression. The stubby paceman is a vital cog in the current Indian bowling line up. And he, along with Umesh Yadav and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, will have to a play a key role in India’s upcoming away tours.
