'Torture Shami' - That's how Dinesh Karthik described facing Mohd Shami in the nets.

According to the wicketkeeper-batter, the veteran Indian pacer is the toughest to bat against in training.

Karthik said, "I thought I was the only one so then I asked Kohli, Rohit and they are all legends of the game and they all said they hate playing Shami."
