Mohammed Shami has impressed one and all with his ability to get reverse swing on the very first day of his Test career but his childhood coach Badruddin Siddique is not at all surprised as he has seen him practice the art since his U-16 days.
“I don’t know about others but Shami had the ability to get reverse swing since he was 16 years old. He has practised a lot to perfect the reverse delivery that comes into the right hander. He has done that a number of times in Ranji Trophy also,” an ecstatic Badruddin said on Wednesday as Shami made a dream debut with figures of 4 for 71 in the first Test against West Indies.
