\"TabraizDubai (UAE):<\/strong> Some extraordinary performances in the last couple of years have seen South Africa\u2019s Tabraiz Shamsi\u2019s stock rise, and being the number one ranked bowler in the world in T20Is, the 31-year-old is certainly at the peak of his career. The left-arm leg spinner has joined the Rajasthan Royals for the remainder of the IPL 2021 season and reckons his team can challenge for the trophy.<\/p>\n

 \u201cI think whether the team is at the first spot or the fifth, the position at the halfway mark doesn\u2019t really count. It\u2019s what you do in the second half that matters. So, I think we\u2019re in a good position right now and we\u2019ve got half a tournament to play, so it depends on how we play the rest of the games. The mood in the camp looks really nice so I don\u2019t see any reason why we can\u2019t go on to win the competition,\u201d stated Shamsi, who is currently in quarantine having arrived from Sri Lanka earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The Johannesburg-based spinner added that he will aim to add to the Royals\u2019 team environment. He said, \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to the experience with a new team. What\u2019s really, really exciting is just the vibe that I\u2019ve picked up, from not just the players but also the management. The overall feeling in the Rajasthan camp is amazing \u2013 I\u2019ve played for a few teams around the world, but I haven\u2019t experienced something like this before.\u201d<\/p>\n

 \u201cI\u2019m generally someone who tries to bring a very positive vibe to the team environment \u2013 whether it\u2019s speaking to other bowlers, players, or just cracking a joke or two in the changing room to lighten up the mood. I\u2019m a big believer in \u2018a happy team is a team that performs better\u2019. So that is something I try to do with my national team as well, and I will try to bring that here as well,\u201d added Shamsi, who has 40 wickets in 30 ODIs and 49 wickets in 42 T20Is to his name for South Africa.<\/p>\n

Typically, you would expect the World No. 1 bowler to be in huge demand but it hasn\u2019t been the case in the IPL, and the experienced bowler admits it did affect him. He elaborated, \u201cIn the past when I was younger, it (not getting picked) did affect me a little bit. But as you grow older, you realize there are bigger things in life. You understand that there are certain things you can\u2019t control, and I was certainly in that space. I feel like I just have to do my work, and if a team feels I can benefit them with my services, they would pick me like Rajasthan has, and I\u2018m going to try my best to make sure that we win the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Acknowledging that he has been following the Royals for a few seasons now, Shamsi added that he likes to watch cricket to learn more about what other players do. \u201cI\u2019m actually somebody who likes watching all the games I can. I like to watch other players and see how they play, and try to pick up on one or two things \u2013 stuff that I can implement in my game – which other spinners are doing well, and also study the batsman a bit. And obviously Chris Morris and David Miller have been with RR for quite a bit, so I\u2019ve always ended up watching a game or two whenever my schedule has permitted,\u201d expressed the South African.<\/p>\n

Adding that he\u2019s excited about bowling against the best batsmen in the world, Shamsi said that the definition of a good spell has evolved. \u201cWith reference to the conditions in UAE and the short boundaries in Sharjah, I think it is a challenge. But it also means that you have an opportunity to get wickets. Sometimes on grounds like that, a spell which goes for 35-40 runs can be a match-winning spell, whereas in other games, a spell of 3 or 4 wickets can change a game. So, I think it\u2019s not just about taking wickets,\u201d said Shamsi who had picked up 3 wickets in 4 IPL matches in 2016.<\/p>\n

A fan of Royals\u2019 IPL-winning captain Shane Warne, Shamsi added that he\u2019s had the opportunity to speak to the Australian legend a few times about his bowling. \u201cShane was of course a legendary leg spinner, and he was always a go-to man for any spinner. From him, I have learned to keep things simple and to be able to remember that we\u2019re all different and that cricket becomes as complicated as you make it in your head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Signing off by revealing that he\u2019s already lined up some new celebrations in partnership with fellow RR player Riyan Parag, Shamsi said that the celebrations help him \u201cswitch on and off between the game, similar to what batsmen are able to do between deliveries.\u201d The left-arm leg spinner also had a message for the Royals\u2019 fans \u2013 \u201cThey should be ready to celebrate a trophy win – that\u2019s our goal and that\u2019s not going to change. We are definitely going to try our best to bring the trophy back to the Royals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
