Mohammed Shami Biryani Incident : Mohammed Shami. His time has been very difficult. He has not been able to play for more than a year due to injury after the 2021 World Cup. He then returned to the Champions Trophy by playing domestic cricket. Playing in the IPL. But England did not get a place in the series. The selectors argued that he could not fully fit the game in Test cricket. In this situation, former coach Robi Shastri is reminiscent of Shami.
Shami was once used to irritate Shami at one time. He said that the best game from Shami would come out if he was angry. Shastri once made Shami angry about eating biryani. And then what happened was history. Robbie Shastri describes a video posted by Soni Sports.
Shastri recalled the visit of South Africa on the 27th. In that series, India was on the brink of whitewash. South Africa would have won only 5 runs. There were 5 wickets in hand. During the lunch break, Shastri was angry with Mohammed Shami. How? Shastri said, “There was a very difficult match. There was a moment of tension in Akhela. At the time of lunch, I saw Shami’s plate in the hands of Shami. On hearing Robi Shastri’s ‘sarcasm’, Shami said, “Take the plate. I don’t need biryani. Let the biryani go to hell.”
Then Shastri told the then bowling coach Bharat Arun, “He is angry. Let him be alone. If Shami comes to speak by himself, tell me to take the wicket.” Then Shami went down the field. In that match against South Africa, he took 5 wickets for 20 runs in 12.5 overs. Team India won by 5 runs in that match. Then, at the end of the disorder, Arun Bharat Arun brought a plate of Biriyani in the dressing room and told Shami, “This time you eat as much biryani as happy with your mind.”
“…!”
Ravi Shastri & Bharat Arun Drop a gem on Mohammed Shami, Form, And… Biryani.
