Veteran team India fast bowler Mohammed Shami showcased humanity as he saved a bird which was on the verge of dying. The right-arm pacer uploaded a video of the small bird on Instagram and wrote the caption, "A helpless bird lay fighting for her life .This is not just about saving a bird... it’s about saving hope."
The video uploaded by the 34-year-old saw him feeding water to the tiny bird which didn't seem in good shape. Shami was also seen having some fun with it by making the bird experiencing the tranquility of the air conditioner in his room.
Watch the video uploaded by Shami on Instagram and said:
"Yeh bird garmi mein behosh hui thi. Usko AC mein rakha thodi der, paani pilaaya. Abhi perfect thik hai, uski jaan bach gayi hai. Ho sakta hai hum log nahin dekhte toh shaayad mar jaati." (The bird lost consciousness due to the heat. Kept it in the AC for a while and fed it water. Its okay now and alive. If we wouldn't have seen, it could have died.)
Mohammed Shami mysteriously left out of Test squad for England tour
On the cricketing side of things, Shami could be approaching the end of his Test career after being left out of the England tour as chief selector cited fitness issues behind his snub. With the likes of Prasidh Krishna and Akash Deep knocking down the doors, the 34-year-old could be overlooked even for the future Test series too.
Nevertheless, Shami could still be in the mix for ODIs at least for the next two years.
