00:00We have to focus on our players' fitness, our bowlers' fitness, working on our skills,
00:07and the preparation has to be good before going.
00:10I agree with this because you play for 12 months a year, you play for 365 days,
00:17one day can go wrong and you can't judge any player's performance,
00:22you can't question any player's skill.
00:25So I don't think we should leave this, we should leave it behind,
00:28we should move forward and focus on our skills and our natural ability.
00:32Did you get time to spend more time with your daughter during this injury phase?
00:36No, there was a program there, we went there then,
00:40so I met her and she stayed with me for a day, it was very nice.
00:43In the last one year, Shami has been off the field,
00:46but in the news, Shami bhai, you have shown your talent,
00:50a while ago you were bowling on your head, was there a reason for that?
00:53No, there was no reason, I got this ball after a long time,
00:57I used to play tennis before, but as far as looks are concerned,
01:01it is very important and according to me, there are a lot of changes,
01:07if you look at it, we don't pay much attention,
01:11because when you look at the game, you don't pay much attention,
01:16we don't pay much attention, because girls pay more attention to looks,
01:22but boys don't pay much attention, I think we should,
01:25there are a lot of changes, if you look at it,
01:28you can see the earlier photos and the current photos,
01:30there are a lot of changes, comfortably.
01:32If we talk about the comments, when your photo went viral last year,
01:37there were some comments from your team mates,
01:42who gave the funniest comment, if you could share?
01:45They respect me, it wasn't a funny comment,
01:48but I would like to say that I have got good comments,
01:53I have got compliments, along with the result,
01:57so even if someone wanted it, I didn't feel bad,
02:03the effort that was put in, the transplant that was done,
02:07the result was so good that the opponent didn't even try to turn the other way.
02:13Shami bhai, the BGT trophy is coming,
02:17but we have always seen that when Team India,
02:19or when Australia comes home, or when we go to Australia,
02:22the mental aspect of the game, the war of words,
02:28the mental war, that increases a lot,
02:31and this time too, it is the same,
02:33and if you look at the first test match, it is on earth,
02:36maybe Australia, because the last two times,
02:39they are so scared, especially looking at India's fast bowling,
02:43this time they have not taken any risk,
02:45and they are already coming with a putt in the first test match.
02:48See, it is up to them, which ground they play on, where they play,
02:52we have to focus on one thing, our players' fitness,
02:55our bowlers' fitness, working on our skills,
03:00and preparation should be good before going,
03:02because we have got a lot of hype now,
03:05and the expectations have also increased from the last two results,
03:09so because of that, I think, the preparation should be good.
03:13If this series is going on, India is 1-0 down,
03:17New Zealand has won a test match in India after 36 years,
03:21what will be the morale of the team at this time,
03:24the dressing room, because Rohit said a good thing at the press conference,
03:28that with a game of 1 day or 3-4 hours,
03:31how we behave on our performance, off the field, on the field,
03:35that will not change.
03:36See, I agree with this thing,
03:39because you play for 12 months of the year,
03:41you play 365 days, one day can go bad,
03:44and with that, you cannot judge any player's performance,
03:48you cannot put a question mark on any player's skill.
03:51So I don't think this thing should be left behind,
03:55we should move forward, and focus on our skills,
03:57and play our natural game.
03:59A very interesting thing, sir, a few days ago a video also came,
04:02you went shopping with your daughter in the mall,
04:05did you get time to spend more time with your daughter,
04:07during this injury phase?
04:09No, there was a program there,
04:11we went there then,
04:13so I met her, she stayed with me for a day,
04:15it was very nice,
04:16we met after a very long time,
04:19because we were busy here and there,
04:21then there was an injury, surgery,
04:23so it took a lot of time,
04:25but quality time.
04:27What do you like to eat the most?
04:30If you want to know some favorite dishes of Mohd. Shami's fans,
04:33because you are a big fan of non-veg,
04:35because his culture of eating is also very good,
04:38so tell us about that.
04:40I have always been infamous for kebabs and biryani,
04:43I want more men here,
04:45I am okay with kebabs and biryani,
04:47I agree with that,
04:49so that is enough.
04:51Okay, my last question to you is,
04:53there was a lot of talk about your injury,
04:56now you yourself, right from the horse's mouth,
04:59you tell us about the injury,
05:01what do you feel now,
05:03how much are you feeling better from the inside?
05:05I am 100% back to bowling,
05:07my fitness has improved a lot,
05:09and I hope to get down to the ground as soon as possible,
05:12and play the match,
05:14I am in that situation now.
05:16See, not only this,
05:18Indian fans also want Mohd. Shami
05:20to start playing for the Indian team as soon as possible,
05:23and we hope that he doesn't take too long,
05:26and he gets fit for the Border Govt. Trophy.
