The 33-year-old recalled his humble beginnings and how he used to drive trucks. He revealed once he drove his friend’s truck to the pond and got scolded by his father. Shami also said he used to love bikes, but after he got selected for the national team, he stopped riding them due to the fear of getting injured.

One of my school friends had a truck in his house. He told me to drive. I was small then and was driving on the ground. I drove our tractor into the pond too. My father scolded me.

Shami is not a part of the five-match T20I series against Australia. India are currently leading 1-0 in the series. The second T20I will be played on Sunday (November 26).
