Changed ball helped me get reverse swing: Shami

India TV News  

Kolkata: It was change of ball that did the trick for India's hero of the day Mohammed Shami who pierced through the batting line up of West indies on 1st day of the 1st test here, caliming 4/71. Shami while addressing media after the day's play, said that the change of ball helped his cause as the replaced one started swinging much more enabling him to get rid of a set Marlon Samuels and an experienced Denesh Ramdin off successive overs. It was a great feeling to bowl with the changed ball as well watch others bowl," Shami said.He has enjoyed a decent success in ODIs but the 23-year-old Bengal-based speedster said that there wasn't much adjustments that he had to make while switching from the 50-over format to longer format. "He bowled three West Indies batsmen with lethal in-cutters but the debut wicket of Kieran Powell, will always remain the special one. "Shami said that the senior players including skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni had told him to stick to a plan.
