The veteran pacer set the tone for LSG to break SRH’s top order with a superb performance of 2 for 9 in his four games, including a stunning 18-pointer. The home team ended up with 9 draws at 156, but the total score didn’t seem to be enough. Speaking after being named player of the match Shami revealed that his decision to rely more on slower deliveries was based on observing trends from the previous season. “I was here last year and bowled a lot of slow balls. In my opinion, both the bowlers and the opponents bowled a lot of slow balls, so I thought why don’t I try it too,” Shami said in his post-match speech. His impact was immediate.
