Talking about a DRS call Shami revealed how Virat Kohli thinks before reviewing an appeal. Shami took the wicket of England wicket-keeper batsman Jonny Bairstow. He was hit on the pads right in the middle of the stumps. But Virat Kohli was confused if Jonny has edged it so he was reluctant to take the DRS. However, Shami revealed that if other than the bowler there is one more player who thinks that the appeal is genuine and it could be out then Virat do not hesitate to take DRS.
