'Shami, tu ekdum ghode ki tarah bhaag…': Bharat Arun's epic message for India pacer ahead of New Zealand semifinal

Hindustan Times  

Few people have witnessed the resurgence of Mohammed Shami quite like Bharat Arun. But as India gear up for their all-important World Cup semifinal against New Zealand, Arun has a crucial piece of advice for Shami: to run in and run in fast. All this World Cup, Shami has been running in - galloping, you could say - fluently, with an amazing rhythm that complements his bowling skills," Arun wrote in his column for ESPNCricinfo. With the kind of momentum he builds in his run-up, and his smooth, repetitive action, he has been able to pitch the ball like he is skimming a flat stone on water, skidding through batters' defences" Of all the wickets Shami has taken in the 2023 World Cup – including two 5-wicket-hauls, the one wicket that stands out is that of England all-rounder Ben Stokes. Shami was absent from India's Playing XI when they faced New Zealand at the World Cup in England four years ago.
