Bangar calls Nadeem a 'complete spinner'

Shahbaz Nadeem had received his maiden Test cap ahead of the third and final Test match of the ongoing series after chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav had complained of left shoulder pain a day before the match. This was also Nadeem's first outing in international cricket. He was very impressive in his debut Test as he managed four scalps. Nadeem had picked up 2/22 at an economy rate of 1.94 which included four maidens in the first innings while he picked up 2/18 at an economy rate of 3 including a maiden in the next innings. Sanjay Bangar was full of praises for the left-arm spinner. While speaking to a sports news website, the former assistant coach of Team India labelled Nadeem as a ''complete bowler'' and said that the Jharkhand spinner is skillful of bowling at a different pace and different points of release.
