'Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowling 132 kph is outstanding. But Mohammed Shami at the same pace...': India pacer below his best

Hindustan Times  

Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra gave Mohammed Shami a harsh reality check about his underwhelming return to international cricket. The former cricketer pointed out the drop in Shami’s pace and suggested that if India need a bowler bowling at 132, out of favour Bhuvneshwar Kumar is a better option than him. However, if Mohammed Shami bowls at 132 kph, he looks a little below his best because his bowling style is getting the ball to move at 137 or 138 kph. The premier pacer also got hit for a hat-trick for boundaries in the second ODI by tailender Adil Rashid, which Chopra feels isn't a good sign for the Indian team as Shami didn't even get to bowl his full quota of overs in both matches.
