    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, April 16: <\/strong>&nbsp;Ace Indian pacer Mohammed Shami has revealed that he played the 2015 World Cup, held in Australia and New Zealand, with a fractured knee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I had knee injury during the 2015 World Cup. I couldn&#39;t walk after the matches I played throughout the tournament with the injury. I played the 2015 World Cup because of Nitin Patel&#39;s confidence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The knee broke in the first match itself. My thighs and knees were the same size, doctors used to take out fluid from them everyday. I used to take three painkillers,&quot; Shami told former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan during a candid chat on Instagram live on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Shami was the second highest wicket-taker for India with 17 wickets out from seven matches and was only behind Umesh Yadav, who played a game more than him and picked 18 wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 29-year-old credited also former skipper M.S. Dhoni for motivating him to carry on playing despite the pain throughout the tournament, especially in the semi-final at the Sydney Cricket Ground where they lost to eventual champions Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chasing 329, India were bundled out at 223 and bowed out of the World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Before the semi-final match against Australia, I told the team that I cannot take any more pain,&quot; said Shami.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Mahi bhai and the management showed faith in me and they really kept confidence in my abilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I played the match and gave just 13 runs in my opening spell. Then I went off the park and told Mahi bhai that I cannot bowl any longer. But he told me he cannot go to part-time bowlers and asked me to not give away more than 60 runs. I have never been in such a condition like this, some had said my career is over, but I am still here,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the chat session, Shami also said Test cricket as his favourite format of the game due to the intensity of the cricket involved in it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;For entertainment purpose, I would like to choose T20 format but I would like to play Test cricket for the intensity of the game,&quot; he told Pathan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He also said that young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has amazing talent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Rishabh&#39;s talent is amazing and it is not like he is my friend that is why I am saying. It is just about confidence, the day he got that confidence, he will be very dangerous,&quot; Shami said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The right-arm pacer last featured in the Test series in New Zealand wherein he bagged five wickets as India were whitewashed in the two-match rubber.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
