Mumbai: As Punjab Kings take on Gujarat Titans at the Brabourne Stadium on April 8, all eyes will be on Mohammed Shami who has been sensational thus far in the tournament.

Speaking about Mohammed Shami during a Gameplan episode on Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the Tata IPL, Piyush Chawla said “It gets very important how you bowl with the new ball and Gujarat Titans have the support of Mohammed Shami.  He is giving you wickets in every match with the new ball which is very important in this format. If you’re talking about bowling in the death overs, he has improved a lot in the last 2 years. Before that, his statistics were not as good in the death overs, but now he has done something different and you can see it when he steps on the field.”

Speaking about Rahul Chahar during a Gameplan episode aired on Star Sports Piyush Chawla said, “The way Rahul Chahar has started is amazing. The best part about his bowling is the length that he bowls. He is not bowling near the bat and if we talk about left handers then this is the bowler who changed the myth that you can’t bowl leg spin to a left-handed batsmen.”
