Mohammed Shami played a handy knock to put Team India in pole position in the first Test against Australia at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Saturday, February 11.The hosts began the day at 321/7 with overnight batters Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel taking guard. Jadeja managed to add only four more runs to his tally of 66 before debutant off-spinner Todd Murphy knocked him over.The dismissal saw Shami arrive in the middle and exhibit some good shots. The senior fast bowler had a rock-solid defense and often moved his feet back and forth to keep Murphy and Nathan Lyon at bay during his 47-ball stay.Fans were extremely delighted with how Shami applied himself against world-class bowlers and added 52 runs with Axar for the ninth wicket. Many jokingly reckoned that he looked more at ease than Virat Kohli while playing against spin.Here are some of the reactions:Gurkirat Singh Gill@gurkiratsgillRidiculous from Shami, he has cut a ball viciously turning into the stumps, in front of square for a boundary.
