I stand behind Shami & Team India.
Apart From Sachin, former Cricketers – Virender Sehwag, V V S Laxman, Harbhajan, Mohammad Rizwan and also other political personas backed up Shami.
Anyhow India’s performance against Pakistan was pitiful. India needs to achieve their winning in the next match in order to be in the game, Lets hope India will succeed in their upcoming match against New Zealand and for Shami – a great come back!!
