In IPL 2023, as much as the ruckus created by the batsmen, the brilliant performance of the bowlers has also been present. Meanwhile, former West Indies bowler Ian Bishop has given a big statement about an Indian bowler. The performance of this player has been amazing in IPL season 16.
Bishop praised this bowler
Ian Bishop hailed Indian pacemaker Mohammed Shami’s outstanding performance in IPL 2023 and praised his ability to pick up wickets in powerplay overs. Bishop highlighted the importance of early breakthroughs compared to wickets taken at the end of an innings, and called Shami’s early overs breakthroughs crucial.
He told Shami better than Siraj-Bhuvi
He drew parallels between Shami’s bowling style and the spells of Indian fast bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Siraj, emphasizing Shami’s ability to consistently bowl challenging line and length with a touch of pace. Bishop praised Shami’s contribution in breaking the opposition’s run-chase and praised him as an outstanding bowler, especially in recent seasons.
Bishop said he took 15 powerplay wickets. He tells you the value of wickets in front versus wickets in the last over. And you look at Bhuvi (Bhuvneshwar Kumar), and it is not Bhuvi’s fault. Bhuvi was excellent with 4 wickets in the final but Shami bowls a test length, test line and length, very well, which is Siraj, when he can bowl at his best this season.
