Mohammad Shami Tells How He Would Dismiss Virat Kohli

Indian pacer Mohammed Shami recently spoke about how he would get the skipper Virat Kohli out if the situation was in front of him. The fast bowler expressed that with all the time he’s spent with Captain Kohli, while also bowling in the nets, he has learnt quite a few strengths and weaknesses.

Shami talks about the skipper’s ‘weak zones’

There are a lot of things that come with playing and spending quality time with another player. You not only come to know of his strengths, but also of his weaknesses. As a bowler, you need to keep working on the weak zones, Shami was quoted saying.

Shami didn’t shy away from calling Virat Kohli the best batsman in the world but also said that even the best have ‘flaws’. “There is no denying the fact that he is the best in the business, but even the best has those little flaws which you can work on. You just need to pick on one factor and focus on that,” he said

The fast bowler has bowled to Virat Kohli in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the past and has dismissed the Indian captain on a few occasions before. Shami wasn’t open about the “weakness,” but did say that he worked on those.

Say for example, which has been the area that has troubled a batsman in recent times? You then work on that. I have dismissed him quite a few times (in the IPL) and without getting into much details, I will say you have to just work on the weak zone, Shami further revealed.

Kohli’s confidence in Shami

That being said, Mohammed Shami did credit Virat Kohli for having the confidence in his skills which has made him one of the frontline bowlers of the Indian cricket team.

Also, Virat has a lot of trust in our abilities and he gets the result because as a bowler, all you need is for the captain to back you and believe in you and your vision, he added.
