'Tough for Shami to not play initially' - Rohit Sharma hails pacer's mindset during World Cup
Ahead of the match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma addressed the press, speaking on a wide range of topics. When asked about seamer Mohammed Shami, he said,
It was tough for him to not play the initial part of the World Cup, being one of the senior bowlers for us. But he was there for the team, to help Siraj and Bumrah in whatever way he could. And that shows his quality.
It was very clear to him. We had a chat with him, why he missed out and everything and of course on the sidelines he was working on his bowling. The results are there for everyone to see. That shows the mental space he was in before the World Cup and even now. Once the opportunity opened up for him, he was right there.
Shami came into the team after injury struck Hardik Pandya during India's group stage clash with Bangladesh. He began the tournament by taking 5/54 against New Zealand, and picked up 7 wickets against the same opposition in last week's semifinal. Despite playing just six matches so far, he is the tournament's highest wicket-taker, with 23 to his name.
