Mohammed Shami said on India TV’s ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ show: “Actually, I don't feel bad about it. He reacted. He didn't even know why. I asked him, what was that? He said, I don't know. I said, then why? To entertain the public? He said, ‘you've known me for 10 years. I never said anything like this. I always called you Bhai’. I said, then what should I do? He said, ‘I don't know. Forgive me, I don't know. If you say, I'll apologize to the media’. I said, there's no need for that.”

While Shami understands that high-pressure situations can affect anyone and that emotions can sometimes get the better of even the best players, he strongly suggested that Pandya avoid giving opponents or the crowd a chance to mock him.

He said that it is just how they communicate, especially when emotions run high during tense moments in the game. Shami pointed out that players sometimes react when tempers flare because it’s hard to stay calm in high-pressure situations.
Shami signed off by saying, “Most of the people who live in Mumbai—sorry if anyone lives there—they don't actually abuse. They have a tone, and they have a way of speaking. But it happens sometimes; if there's a tense game and if someone abuses, they'll react. It happens sometimes. There are a lot of cases like this. Because you can't be polite, you can't ignore. Because you have the evidence of the mic.”
