Shami bowled in all 9 innings that the English batted (the second Test was an innings victory), picking up 16 wickets at an average of 1.78 per innings.

The other fast bowlers turned out 17 times (India played the second Test with only two fast bowlers) and picked up 35 wickets at an average of 2.06 per innings.

Here again, Shami's stats fall short of the stats of his peers.
