XtraTime Web Desk: Fast bowlers generally show a lot of aggression when they run into bowl at a batsman. But they have a kind heart as well. Take the instance of ace Indian pacer Mohammed Shami who is winning hearts with his action off the cricket field.
The fast bowler from Amroha is doing everything he can to help daily wage workers in his home town and has recently saved a needy who came to his doorstep, ragged and hungry en route to Bihar from Rajasthan.
In a Live chat on Instagram with his teammate Yuzuvendra Chahal, Shami shared the heartbreaking incident.
“He was coming from Rajasthan. Just imagine he is supposed to go to Bihar which is so far from Lucknow too. He has no means to commute and I saw in my home CCTV camera that he fainted in
hunger and was close to my door. So I provided him with food and helped him out,” said Shami.
He added, “I am trying to help as much as I can. There are migrant workers here who are really struggling to meet ends. The highway is also near my house so I can see people having a tough time. I feel I should help and I am doing as much as possible.”
The COVID-19 lockdown has been harsh on migrant workers and daily wage labourers.
