Mohamed Chami told : “They know our batting might but now they are troubled by the bowlers too, unable to understand how they should manage our bowlers. 'Should we give a spinning track or seaming track, they are confused.' We accept that we have 3-4 quality spinners and 3-4 quality pacers, now you give us whatever you want to,”

Mohamed Chami told ( about Virat Kohli ) : "It is also indeed a phase which you can maybe attribute to the luck of this Indian team or hard work. But Virat has always been supportive of his fast bowlers while also giving us freedom on the ground. He only jumps in when our plans fail, otherwise we're free as a bowling unit to do as we please. He has always been very supportive,"

Mohamed Chami added ( about Virat Kohli ) : "As far as our fast-bowling unit or I am concerned as an individual, he has never put any undue pressure on any of us. Usually, there's a doubt in a bowler's mind before he approaches his captain. That has never been the case with Virat. He has not air about himself. He jokes around with us, behaves as if he's our childhood friend," "This leads to a lot of fun on the ground too. Sometimes there's fun banter, sometimes we also end up saying aggressive things to each other but we never mind it because it happens in the heat of the moment"

Especially on this wicket, it was important to understand the first game and learn from our mistakes and not repeat them again. Against the champion team, everyone executed well and bowled according to the plan and the results are in front of us,"

Mohamed Chami said ( about Ishant Sharma ) : “What do I say about him. He is the best guy around. Doesn't give you the feeling that he has played double of what you have played. When I had come in, he had already played about 50 games. Since day one he never behaved like a senior. He likes mingling and laughing around. His behaviour has taught me to how to treat a youngster,” “When a youngster joins, it is imperative that an established player talks to him about everything under the sun, it lifts his confidence. If you have someone like Ishant around, I don't think you can feel down for a long time,”
