Ishan Kishan, the East Zone skipper, praises senior bowler Mohammed Shami on the eve of the Duleep Trophy final. Ahead of the title clash, Kishan highlights Shami’s continued motivation and work ethic, saying his hunger to perform remains unchanged despite age.
Kishan’s comments frame Shami as an example that experience and determination still matter in elite cricket. Both outlets report the same core message: Kishan stresses that age is not the deciding factor when a player backs it with consistent effort and competitive intensity. The reporting focuses less on match tactics and more on the team’s perspective of Shami’s fitness and mindset heading into the final.
