India’s fast bowler Mohammed Shami is in better form Cheteshwar Pujara During a four-day warm-up match ahead of the rescheduled fifth Test between India and England at Edgbaston from July 1. The two were up against each other as Pujara is representing Leicestershire County Cricket Club.
Both Shami and Pujara will play for the same team in a week, but on this occasion, Shami was able to deceive the Gujarat batsman who has made a tremendous impact on England soil in the county season.

On the second day of the practice match at Leicester, Shami charged and bowled a fine outside off-stump, which broke down after pitching. Pujara tried to cut it from the off side but failed to connect as the ball took the inside edge of the bat and shattered the stumps. Both Shami and Bharat, celebrated as Pujara, took a long walk in the pavilion. The video was posted by Leicestershire Fox on its official Twitter handle.
