Mohammed Shami has made an impressive comeback into the Indian Test team. He has taken eight wickets in two Tests so far against the West Indies. Shami has been looking fit and strong during the series so far.
The Indian coach Anil Kumble, too, is impressed with Shami’s comeback. The Indian speedster ran through Windies top-order in the 1st Test. Shami then struck twice in 2nd Test’s both innings in Jamaica.
“I’m really happy for Shami. Coming back after 18 months is not easy,” Kumble said. “The way he has come back and bowled aggressively. I thought he bowled the best spell that I have seen.”
“A fast bowler running in and right through the Test,” he added. “Even today in the last session he was running and bowling at 140. That says a lot about his fitness and his motivation to come back as well.”
Team India has played two Test matches in two weeks. The bowling department has remained the same.
“The workload is something we are aware of,” Kumble insisted. “The last Test in Antigua the bowlers bowled back to back. We try and take workload in training sessions with respect to what happened in the match.”
