Kolkata, Nov 21: Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami's wife Hasin Jahan was surprised to have watched her husband’s aggressive behaviour against Sri Lankan batsmen on the final day of Kolkata Test.

Match scorecard

She came to Eden Gardens on the concluding day of the opening Test on Monday (November 20) but could not see the match till the end as their daughter was suffering from fever.

Before leaving Eden Gardens, Hasin smilingly told, “I am really surprised to have watched him (Shami) on the field. He was so aggressive against Sri Lankan batsmen. Especially along with the ball, he was continuously replying to Sri Lankan batsmen in words. I never thought he could sledge also!”

Hasin informed that Shami is exactly the opposite in character at home or when he is with his family. Hasin added, “He mainly spends time with his daughter and me at home. He does not get irritated even if I lose my temper. He is very soft-spoken. How does this man become so aggressive on the field?”

Hasin revealed that she gets nervous whenever Shami starts bowling, “Whenever Shami bowls I start getting nervous. Today, I was enthralled to have seen his fiery bowling.”

Shami’s daughter only expressed happiness watching her father play.

Hasin, however, did not forget to reveal that she is a die-hard fan of Virat Kohli. She commented, “Previously I was not that much fond of cricket. My parents used to watch cricket matches seated in front of the television. But after getting married to Shami, I have also been an ardent fan of the game and whenever Kohli bats I never stay away.”

Hasin watched Kohli’s magnificent century and, as usual, she was excited. But she also said that she loves to watch MS Dhoni bat. She clarified, “Actually, I like to get entertained whenever I watch. That is the reason I love to watch Dhoni and Kohli's batting.”

The match between India and Sri Lanka ended in a draw as the hosts couldn't get the opposition out in their second innings as bad light forced the match on the final day to be stopped early.
