PUNE: India are not the only team having a 'Chinaman' bowler in the ranks. South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi is cut from the same cloth as Kuldeep Yadav. Like the Ravindra Jadeja-Kuleep combo of left-arm spin, the Shamsi-Keshav Maharaj duo is turning out to be a vital cog in South Africa's wheel.
In that sense, it was somewhat surprising that Shamsi, Man of the Match during their win against Pakistan, was not picked in the XI for the game against New Zealand in Pune. He had to make way for paceman Kasigo Rabada.
