Mohammad Shami over Shardul Thakur? Can India be bold enough and prioritize saving runs instead of scoring them?

[ad_1] It was one of the loudest pops in Dharamsala on Sunday. Mohammed Shami held the ball for the first time at this Cricket World Cup, scampered in from over the stumps, and then let go of a length ball with that picture perfect seam bolt upright.
