He was the wrecker-in-chief against Pakistan, taking 4-35. He took two wickets for 30 runs against South Africa.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">He was again lethal against the West Indies, with three wickets to his credit. He was rested during the match and the United Arab Emirates and came back with a bang by removing four Ireland batsmen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;I like the way he handles the team and handles me as a bowler. I am always free and I have never been tensed when he has captained the side,&quot; Shami told media persons at the pre-match press conference ahead of their Pool B game against Zimbabwe at Eden Park on Saturday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;He is someone who has always told me about my mistakes and asked me not to repeat them in the future.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Elaborating further on Dhoni, the 25-year-old crickter from Bengal said his captain has always been the one who would support him and help him work on the things that have gone wrong.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;He never gets angry. He will tell you things very calmly and handle the situation well which helps a bowler. The support of the captain and backing of your captain despite making mistakes is very important and he does that,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It has been a plus point for me that I have played and made my debut under him. When I was playing domestic cricket, I used to think about what I would talk to the seniors when I reach the international level.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;When I came to the international level, I felt a lot more comfortable than the domestic level. This is the confidence that has helped me thus far and I will try to take it forward.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Asked how he dealt with ups and downs of the game, Shami said, &ldquo;I would like to believe that till now I haven&rsquo;t had that bad a patch that I could think about.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;Whenever I go through a rough patch or a bad day, I go back to my room and think about my mistakes,&quot; he added.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;Or I talk to my captain and teammates and ask for suggestions from them on how to get better. I try to rectify the mistakes in my practice sessions and I become alright.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">On Saturday&rsquo;s game against Zimbabwe, the right-armer believes winning the game is of prime importance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;Irrespective of the opposition, we always look to win games. Cricket is a game of uncertainties and we always look to play the way we have been playing till now and it will be no different against Zimbabwe,&rdquo; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Zimbabwe are just one of the stops to the ultimate goal. Shami and the others in the team have their eyes on the coveted trophy and that in itself is a big motivation towards striving for success.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;Winning the World cup in itself is a huge motivation for us. All eyes are on the World Cup and everyone has a lot of expectations from us. The focus is to win the Cup come what may,&quot; he concluded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
