Select translated quotes from Mohammad Shami’s Media Conference in Hindi

Shami: “Our bowlers have done well in the match so far. We have to bowl as a unit going forward, have to work depending on the resources at our disposal.

“I wanted to keep it tight today. The idea was to restrict them, bowl in the right areas. We carried on with the momentum, getting wickets in ones and twos.”

“I can’t say how much we can dismiss them for in the fourth innings of the match. We need time and a plan, which we will obviously work out. We will need runs on the board and backup.”

“Whenever the team has needed me, I have given my 100 percent. I always try to attack, go for the wickets. Once the captain guides me on where to bowl, I focus on doing that, trying to maintain the kind of line and length expected from me.

“I never regret missing out on five-wicket hauls or other such achievements. Such thoughts don’t cross our minds. I love playing for my country and that is it.

“In the end it is about your effort and some luck. One has to remain positive whatever the situation.”
