‘I am in Gujarat, my food is not…’ Shami’s cheeky reply to Shastri won hearts

Mohammed Shami has been in sensational form in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). His bowling with the new ball has created a lot of trouble for the opposition openers as he has always helped his team get an early lead in the powerplay. Shami won the player of the match award after his magical spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad, bagging three wickets to take his total to 23 wickets in 15 matches in the ongoing IPL season.

After the match, Shami answered Ravi Shastri’s question ‘Aajkal kya kha rahe ho?’ But he made everyone laugh with his cheeky response. Shastri asked Shami how he looked stronger and fitter despite missing a month and a half in the IPL, to which Shami replied, “Gujarat mein hoon, mera khana nahi milega na. Lekin Gujarati food enjoy kar raha hoon.” ” … I won’t get my food here. But, I am still enjoying Gujarati food.)” (Watch: Sonakshi Sinha expresses her love for RCB’s Virat Kohli)

We ticked a lot of good boxes, we made a lot of mistakes but we always stayed in the game and tried to be consistent. Bowlers are very close to my heart. Sometimes batsmen take too much credit, for me I will always be a bowler’s captain and make sure they get the credit they deserve.”
