'Age just a number': Ishan Kishan confident of 'hungry' Shami making India comeback
Ishan Kishan expresses confidence in veteran pacer Mohammed Shami's ability to make a comeback to the Indian cricket team. Kishan highlights Shami's work ethic and hunger as key factors that transcend age.
Why it matters
It reflects the ongoing discourse in professional sports regarding the longevity of veteran athletes and the value of experience.
At 36, Mohammed Shami may be closer to the twilight of his career than its peak, but his desire to return to India colours remains as strong as ever. That is the belief of East Zone captain Ishan Kishan, who has seen first-hand the veteran pacer’s determination during their run to the Duleep Trophy final.Shami, who has 903 wickets from 100 first-class matches, produced a match-winning spell in the semifinal against Central Zone in Bengaluru. For Kishan, however, it is not just Shami's performances that stand out, it is the hunger behind them.“I think he is just one of the best. He has been a legend of this game. He has been doing so well since he started playing for Bengal.
