Shamsi said that "I have been fascinated by magic and different tricks. From the age of 15 or 16, I wanted to become a magician as it was my hobby. I still love it, but cricket obviously took over after that.” https://www.ptcnews.tv/ajinkya-rahane-and-wife-radhika-dhopavkar-blessed-with-baby-girl-harbhajan-singh-congratulates/ The spinner feels that players tend to get too serious during the matches and he believes in having a bit of fun in the middle, both for the crowd and himself. He said "People come out to watch us play and sometimes we become too serious." “We make mistakes on the field, because everybody makes mistakes. The celebrations and tricks never distract me from doing my job. Also, I am not the first bowler to get smashed of the park and it is not my magic tricks that make me get hit. Entertaining on the field is just my way of taking pressure off,” he added. -PTC News
