Gujarat Titans’ veteran pace spearhead Mohammed Shami has been praised by the team’s director, Vikram Solanki, ahead of their 12th IPL league game against Mumbai Indians. Solanki described Shami as an “exceptional bowler” with a “huge heart,” who has been among the top wicket-takers this year with 19 scalps in 11 matches.
Despite the challenges faced by bowlers in the current season, with better wickets and aggressive batting, Solanki believes that Shami’s skill-set makes him a force to be reckoned with in any format and game situation. He also commended the team’s experienced and well-led group, with Shami setting an example for the rest of the players to follow.
Shami, who has represented India in all three formats of the game, has been a consistent performer in the IPL over the years. He has played for various franchises, including Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and Delhi Capitals, before joining Gujarat Titans in 2021. Known for his ability to swing the ball both ways and bowl yorkers at will, Shami has been instrumental in Gujarat Titans’ success this season.
In addition to his bowling skills, Shami’s leadership qualities have also been praised by his teammates and coaches. He has been a key member of India’s pace attack in recent years and played a crucial role in the team’s success in overseas tours. His ability to bowl well with both the new and old ball and to adapt to different conditions makes him a valuable asset for any team.
As the IPL season progresses, Gujarat Titans will be hoping that Shami’s impressive form continues and that he can help them win their maiden title. With a well-balanced team and a talented squad of players, the Titans are one of the top contenders for the trophy this year. And with Shami leading their bowling attack, they have a formidable weapon in their arsenal.
