Mohammed Shami and his upright seam position is a match made in heaven and over the years, we have seen Shami producing some breathtaking spells to bamboozle opponents with class and swag.
In the 23rd game of the IPL 2023, we saw another master-class from Shami with the new ball and he moved the ball both in the air and off the seam as RR dynamic-opening pair left shell-shocked. Yashasvi Jaiswal departed on a lovely delivery by Hardik pandya but the moment of the match came in the very next over when Shami bowled a mesmerizing over and on the way shattered Jos Buttler off pole out of the ground.
Shami bowled the opening over which went for 2 runs and somehow RR batters managed to get past without any damage in that over but they were not lucky in his second over. He kept beating the bat on every ball and finally the pressure got to Jos Buttler, the leading run-scorer for RR this season and the orange cap holder of the last season. He tried to do something out of the ordinary and went way across to his right to scoop it. However, Shami with his immaculate seam position hit the top of off stump to send Buttler packing for a duck.
At the time of writing, RR are 20-2 in the 6th over. They would need Samson and Paddikal who are in the middle now to build a partnership with a stiff target of 178 in front of them.
