He called neither Jasprit Bumrah nor Zaheer Khan but himself as the best bowler of India.
During the interview, Shubhankar asked Shami, who is the best bowler in India? Right now? I believe that I am the best bowler. Our unit has been me, Jassi (Bumrah), Ishant was also in it, Bhuvneshwar was also in it, Umesh Yadav was also in it. These 5-6 of us together, I think no unit in the world would have enjoyed as much as this unit has. I believe.. I do not believe in number 1 or number 2. As a person, as a player, as a unit, the unit of 5-6 people that was formed in my life was the best.
