Ind vs NZ 2016: Predicted XI for the 3rd Test

#10 Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami put on a show in Kolkata

With the absence of Ishant Sharma, there was a void to be filled as India’s spearhead pace bowler and Mohammed Shami has stepped up and taken the opportunity with both hands. He has proven to be deadly with both, the new ball, and old.

In Kolkata, reports emerged of his heroic effort despite having to deal with his daughter’s illness. His ability to reverse-swing the ball caught the eye as he left the Kiwi batsmen with no clue.

It is terrific to see he hasn’t skipped a beat after his injury and is back to his best.
