As India and Australia are currently engaged in a three-match ODI series, the first of which has already been win by the Team India, thanks to a fabulous display by the bowlers and a brilliant batting performance in the middle order.
Following the match, Shami was asked about how ODI cricket has changed over the years and if it has become more difficult in the modern era.
“There are a lot of add-ons in white-ball cricket. You get a free hit for a no-ball, and then you can’t get out either. Toh bowlers ke against mein kafi cheezein hai (There are many things against the bowlers). It changes according to the format. But as far as our team is concerned, it doesn’t matter whether we are playing at home or abroad,” Shami told the reporters as reported by Hindustan Times.
I don’t think there is any question mark on the Indian team. Hum kisi bhi condition mein honge, hum sabse age hai. Hum ne kar ke bhi dikhaya hai. Humne unko ghar pe jake bhi haraya hai toh apne ghar mein toh sochne ka sawal hi nahi hai (We are ahead of every team irrespective of the conditions. We have shown it in the past too. We have beaten them in their backyard so there is no question of worrying when we are playing at home),” he added.
