England vs India 2018: Report Card of key players for the Test series

#9 Mohammed Shami

Shami struggles with consistency early on in the series but found rhythm later on

There was a time when we used to call Ishant Sharma as unlucky Ishant and now I think, Shami is going through the same phase and you won't question this assertion if you have seen him bowl in this series especially in the last test match.

Shami, I think is the most skilful bowler in the test match cricket that India has ever produced. He swings it, seams it, reverses it both ways and at a high pace. But once again like Ishant, numbers don't agree with the quality of Shami. He was fabulous throughout the series, maybe a few more wickets would have done justice to him. Shami took 16 wickets in the series but those who have seen him bowl would agree that he could have ended up with 20-21 easily.
