Mohammed Shami - 5 reasons why he will succeed in South Africa Tests

For the upcoming Tests against South Africa, it has become a matter of concern as to which Indian bowler will be able to perform.

Obviously, the first and foremost answer would be veteran Zaheer Khan, who has got the experience of playing on bouncy tracks. However, he will need someone to support him from the other end.

Many of the fans expect Mohammed Shami to be that man. Though he is comparatively new, he has been deploying all of his efforts every time he comes to bowl. This has made him a strong contender to become a lead bowler for Team India in the future.

Here are the five reasons why he will be able to perform well in South Africa:

Consistency

He is consistent; being a hard working cricketer who has the zeal to deliver, he will surely make a mark. His track record also shows that he has been performing consistently.

He has played two Tests so far and in the 4 innings, he has taken 11 wickets. This is pretty good for a beginner. Also, he has got an excellent bowling average of 16.54 in Test matches. Even in the 20 ODIs he has played, he has already taken 30 wickets. So his consistency will help him.
