Shami has taken 11 wickets at 20 runs apiece to set it up for the Titans in the power-play overs.
”In T20 cricket, we focus on variations — slower ones, bouncers. But according to me it’s about bowling in the right areas then it becomes a difficult score. That’s always my gameplan,” Shami said during a virtual media interaction on the eve of the first IPL Qualifier against Rajasthan Royals.
”The white ball does not swing after a few overs. So it’s always my gameplan to use the new ball as much as you can.
