The veteran Indian pacer has been one of the finest bowlers with the old red ball, as no bowler can reverse-swing the ball, especially in the second innings, better than Mohammed Shami. He still does it consistently in the red-ball tournaments in the domestic circuit for the Bengal Cricket Team. Though he has been overlooked multiple times now.
Harbhajan Singh said (as quoted by Mumbai Mirror), "Mohammed Shami was one of those bowlers who, I don't think, got the credit he deserved. What a phenomenal Test bowler he was, with an easy action and tremendous control. He could swing and seam the ball, run in and bowl quick whenever the team needed him. He was a natural, desi guy who understood his skills and knew exactly what he could do with the ball."

While speaking further, Bhajji stated that when Mohammed Shami was in full flow, there was no bowler who could match his skills, as he was a match-winner for the Men in Blue across formats, yet he remained underrated and was overshadowed by the others. Bhajji would rank him with Kapil Dev, Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan in the best Indian fast bowlers list.
"In the history of Indian fast bowling, I would rank him among the top three. If you consider Kapil paaji, Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan, Shami won't be far behind. I'm talking about Test cricket here. He was a phenomenal bowler."
