‘Virat gets irritated when this happens’
Shami was asked in Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast that who is more difficult to bowl to in the nets, Virat or Rohit? To this, the bowler replied with a smile, “He does not like to play me. I have heard in many interviews that he does not like to bat against me in the nets. Virat and I challenge each other. He likes to hit good shots and I like to get him out. There is a friendship and bonding in this. This brings a lot of interest. Then the effort also feels good and the focus is also good. We enjoy all these things a lot. Rohit says in advance that I do not like to play this. Virat gets irritated after getting out once or twice.
‘Virat and Ishant are best friends’
Shami also said that Virat and Ishant Sharma are his best friends. The bowler said, “Virat and Ishant are my best friends. When I was injured, he was constantly calling me.” Let us tell you that Shami is out of the Indian team since the ODI World Cup 2023. Shami suffered a heel injury, which was operated in February. Shami performed brilliantly in the World Cup. He took 24 wickets in seven matches, which was the highest in the tournament. Shami is currently working hard to make a comeback. He has started bowling practice on the nets to return to competitive cricket. Shami can make a comeback in the Indian team from the home Test series against Bangladesh, which is to be held in September.
