Mohammed Shami will go down as one of the finest bowlers to play for India. His performance in Test cricket has been top-notch for more than a decade now, and in white-ball formats, he has been consistent as well. He is a senior member of the side now, and naturally enjoys a close bond with quite a few big names in Indian cricket.
However, there are always some people who are more special, and for Mohammed Shami it is Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma as revealed by the pacer himself in a podcast with Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel.
Virat Kohli's Love For Shami
Shami mentioned that Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma are his best friends and they are the one who call him during his bad times and check on him during injuries and recovery process.
"Virat Kohli & Ishant Sharma are my Best friends - they are the ones who call me & check me when I am injured & in recovery process".
Along with talking about his friendships, he also touched on various issues including his non-selection during the majority of 2019 World Cup and on Ball-tampering controversy between Inzamam-ul-Haq and Rohit Sharma.
