Indian pace bowler Mohammad Shami said that Bangladeshi players overreact while facing short balls.

India pacer Mohammed Shami, on Tuesday, said that he does not understand what the pink ball is all about and he even went on to say that Bangladesh players sometimes tend to overreact when they get to face consistent short-pitched deliveries.

"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 during an an Instagram Live session adding that he feels Bangladeshi players are scared of short balls.

"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 decimated Bangladesh in its inaugural day-night Test last year. The side defeated Bangladesh by an innings and 46 runs in the day-night Test at the Eden Gardens.
