Praise from everywhere
Shami's recent performances have been so good that he has earned applause not only from Indian cricketers and pundits but also from opposition players. Recently, South African captain Faf du Plessis said younger players could learn from the Indian fast bowler. He said, "There's a huge intensity about his bowling. You are going to bowl short spells in the heat but when you bowl you have to ensure that you bowl with a lot of intensity and maximize it. There is, in fact, a lot to learn from the lengths he bowled. He's a guy that hits the stumps a lot. That's something from a bowling point of view, we have to make sure, we are better at. In the first innings especially, we bowled wide and therefore they scored frequently square of the wicket. So there are a lot of lessons to learn."
