During the Instagram Live with Manoj Tiwary, Shami was asked to share his experience from the debut pink-ball Test. 

"Honestly, I did not understand what the pink ball is all about. The match starts in the afternoon, so initially, the ball does not offer you much, when we played the day-night Test against Bangladesh, it was with an SG ball, this ball had a different feel attached to it, we were not understanding when the ball will seam and move," Shami told Tiwary.

"When I came into the attack, I decided to bowl short balls, I have noticed that Bangladesh players overreact when someone is bowling consistent short balls, I am not scared of saying this, I have to say what I say," he added

India had won the match against Bangladesh by an innings and 46 runs.
