London, July 13 (IANS)| After winning the T20I series 2-1, India started the ODI series against England with a resounding 10-wicket win at The Oval. The main architects of the win were the fast bowlers, with Jasprit Bumrah’s 6–19 quick spell taking the top honours, followed by Mohammed Shami’s 3-31 and the iconic Krishna 1-26, as England were bowled out for just 110 in 25.2. happened. over.During the match, Shami also became the fastest Indian bowler to take 150 ODI wickets, reaching the landmark in 80 matches, surpassing the previous fastest Indian record held by Ajit Agarkar in 97 ODIs.
Overall, Shami became the third joint-fastest bowler to reach 150 ODI wickets, finishing third with Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan.
“As soon as we started, the ball was stopping and seaming, it became important for us to pick our areas and keep the line and length under control. We did our best (in the first ODI); For example, the way a series has to start, it sets an example.
“The thing to keep in mind was that if the field would be good on a pitch where it swings and seams, you bowl at a faster pace from both ends and on such a wicket (the batting teams) it is life-threatening. makes it difficult. We kept things simple, got wickets quickly and the result was for all to see,” Shami said in a video chat with bowling coach Paras Mhambrey on bcci.tv.
Shami also revealed how staying in sync has made the bowling attack’s life easier in ODIs. “Everyone is playing so much cricket together, so they immediately understand their work and what needs to be done. When I bowled the first over, it was clear that there would be some seam and swing. He (Bumrah) bowled the same length and got good wickets. It makes life easier for the bowlers, especially for the first changers.”
It was a return to ODIs for Shami after he was dismissed last in the format against Australia in Sydney in 2020. Asked about the mindset of playing ODIs after such a long time, the pacer explained, “It was not a short break, but three years. Nothing was going on in my mind about the (long) gap. I have become very comfortable with the team; We travel together and have been playing together for a decade. Everyone knows their job and after playing so much cricket if any question comes in your mind then I believe it is not good.
“It is extremely important to come up with a clear mind because you already know what you need to do, where you need to pitch the ball, change the white ball and everyone knows these basics. But you need to be courageous at heart and if that is you, then you can be set in any format at any time.”
Shami signed off saying that he wants the bowling attack to remain confident from the win at The Oval till the rest of the match. “Personally, it would be best to revert to keeping it simple principle. If the wicket behaves a little differently then you need to think a little bit more.
“If you take confidence from here on in the rest of the matches, there are chances to be more successful. But if the wicket is dry or slow, the plan may change. But it is very important to bring confidence from here.”
