IPL helped get my rhythm back after injury layoff: Shami

India pacer Mohammed Shami has said that the IPL helped him get his rhythm back after a long injury layoff. Shami was hit on the elbow while batting during the Australia series in December. He was ruled out of the rest of the series in Australia and also from the home series against England that followed. On his return to action after four months, Shami picked up 8 wickets in 8 matches in the IPL.
