We are habituated to pollution: Shami
New Delhi, Dec 4 (IANS) India pacer Mohammed Shami on Monday said the pollution level was not as high as was made out by Sri Lanka.
The visitors were seen wearing masks to avoid pollution during play on the second day of the third Test.
“The pollution is not that much as shown, or maybe we are habituated to it,” the Bengal bowler told reporters at the end of the day press conference.
“We should reduce the things that creates pollution,” Shami added.
The 27-year-old who picked up two wickets in the first innings against Sri Lanka said the fast bowlers could bowl long spells in the third Test and the team’s fitness was tested.
“Talking about the wicket, we didn’t get the one we wanted but we got to practice well there,” the pacer said.
“We could bowl long spell, our fitness was tested. As a fast bowler, we get to bowl less in India, in the last few years we are bowling more. The more we bowl, the more we improve,” Shami added.
Talking about the catches dropped by the Indian team on the second and third day of the final Test, Shami said: “It is a part of the game. We do get angry. We should ignore it and move on.”

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
