IPL Helped Get my Rhythm Back After Injury, Says Mohammed Shami India’s pace spearhead Mohammed Shami has recently said that the Indian Premier League (IPL) has helped him to get his “rhythm back” after a long injury layoff. Shami has sustained an injury on the elbow by a delivery from Australian pace bowler Pat Cummins while batting during the first Test in Adelaide in December. Later, he was ruled out of the rest of the series as well as India’s home series against England after that as well.

I know how much training is needed, how to keep myself hydrated etc —all these factors must have also helped,” Shami told Gulf News. However, he returned during the now-suspended IPL after four months and did quite well for Punjab Kings as well, where he picked up eight wickets in as many matches. Currently, Shami is looking forward to doing well in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand next month in England and then the five-match Test series against England in August-September as well. Moreover, he needs only 20 wickets for becoming the fifth Indian pace bowler to reach 200 wickets in Test matches, after Kapil Dev, Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma. But he said that he is not setting any targets as well.

No point in planning. Who would have thought the pandemic would virtually destroy two years of our lives? I prefer to take it by each series or tournament as the case may be.” However, India will be leaving for England on June 2 where 20 players have been picked up for the tour of England for the upcoming WTC final as well as five-match Test series against England as well.
