Mohammed Shami accuracy against New Zealand was outstanding: Aakash Chopra. Mohammed Shami grabbed a fifer against New Zealand.
Following India’s surprising victory against New Zealand, courtesy of Mohammed Shami’s fifer and Virat Kohli’s 95, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra praised the bowler and revealed why he was so effective against the Kiwis. India restricted New Zealand to 273 runs, with Shami taking five wickets after surrendering 54 runs in his quota of ten overs, and India went on to win by four wickets.
Aakash Chopra, host of JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI,’ praised Mohammed Shami’s performance and revealed why he beat New Zealand in Dharamsala on Sunday. “This was Mohammed Shami’s first World Cup match, and he came away with five wickets.” He appeared to be bowling into a ‘gun barrel straight’.
This is a pipe-related phrase. He appeared to be routinely bowling into the pipe. His precision was astounding. The length he keeps changes, and he also obtains reverse swing. As a result, India, who would have been chasing around 325 runs, ended up with a goal of 274. The million-dollar question is whether Shami will remain in the XI once Hardik is fit. I don’t have an answer for it right now.”

Daryl Mitchell solely responsible for New Zealand’s victory over Kuldeep Yadav: Aakash Chopra
Chopra also discussed the Kiwis’ victory over Kuldeep Yadav. “Daryl Mitchell was solely to blame for that.” His use of his feet was outstanding. He had a good read on the ball in Kuldeep’s hand and was stepping out to reach it. He is tall, has long levers, and a decent flow, but more importantly, he had the confidence to step out and reach the pitch of the ball before hitting it straight. Mitchell beat Kuldeep because the ground in Dharamsala has shorter straight boundaries.”
