The Sunrisers Hyderabad team made some strategic moves at the upcoming season's IPL auction, securing top players like Mohammad Shami and Ishan Kishan. Along with eight new additions to their squad, SRH also has one RTM card and a remaining purse worth Rs. 5.51 crore, as they aim to solidify their winning chances with a strong international line-up and retain their key players from the previous season, including Pat Cummins and Travis Head.
The 2025 Indian Premier League mega auction saw Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) stocking up on strong bowling options, as they brought in a total of five new bowlers on day 1. Senior pacers Mohammed Shami and Harshal Patel were bought for Rs 10 crore and Rs 8 crore respectively, while spinners Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar were brought in for Rs 2.40 crore and Rs 3.20 crore. The franchise's costliest purchase on Sunday was young wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan, signed for Rs 11.25 crore. With a strong bowling and lower-order batting lineup, SRH looks to be a formidable team in the upcoming season.
India faced a series of unexpected roadblocks as they entered the Perth Test against Australia, with multiple injuries sidelining key players and forcing the team to hand debuts to inexperienced prospects. Despite their bold team selection, which saw the absences of regulars Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, and Shubman Gill, India struggled from the start as their top batsmen were quickly dismissed by a relentless Australian bowling attack. With Mohammed Shami still expected to join the squad at some point, it remains to be seen how India will fare in the remaining matches of the series.
After a long wait, veteran fast bowler Mohammed Shami has finally returned to the cricket field, making a debut alongside his brother Mohammed Kaif in the Bengal vs Madhya Pradesh Ranji Trophy match. Shami's inclusion in the playing XI is significant not just for Bengal's chances in the elite domestic competition, but also for his own comeback into the Indian team. With Shami's return, the stage is set for an exciting end to the last round of the Ranji Trophy before the tournament goes on a break. Fans and experts alike are eagerly waiting to see how Shami performs and whether it will earn him a place on the plane to Australia.
After a prolonged break from competitive cricket, Indian pacer Mohammed Shami returned to the field in a Ranji Trophy match against Madhya Pradesh. However, the veteran bowler failed to make an impact as he went wicketless in the first day of the match, conceding 34 runs in 10 overs. While Bengal's performance was lackluster, Shami's performance was the most noteworthy as he aimed to make a strong comeback after being out of action for several months.
After a year away from cricket due to injury, Indian pace bowler Mohammed Shami is set to make his comeback for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy. If he proves his fitness in the upcoming match, he could also be a contender for the Indian team for the Border-Gavaskar Test series against Australia. Shami's inclusion is a major boost for Bengal and could lift their morale as they aim for the next round of the Ranji Trophy.
After being out of action for over a year, Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami is all set to make his much-anticipated comeback in the upcoming Ranji Trophy Elite Group-C match between Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. Shami, who last played in the 2019 ODI World Cup final, will be a major attraction for fans at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. His return comes just in time for India's tour of Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy Test series.
As India's fast bowlers prepare for the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy, they will have to step up in the absence of experienced pacer Mohammad Shami. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will lead the pack, while the toss-up will be among the relatively inexperienced Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, and Harshit Rana. Former selector Devan Gandhi believes that Rana should have been a part of the India A team to familiarize himself with the conditions. Meanwhile, former bowling coach Paras Mhambrey believes that backing Siraj is crucial for India's success in Australia. Mhambrey also praises Krishna's ability to generate bounce and has faith in him to perform against the Aussies.
After a series of injuries, Mohammed Shami is on the road to recovery and aiming to regain his spot on the Indian cricket team. The pacer was seen training at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, bowling at full pace with minimal breaks, showcasing both physical and mental resilience. Fans and experts are eagerly anticipating Shami's return to the field, but his full recovery and readiness for competitive cricket will require careful monitoring and integration.
In the ongoing India vs New Zealand 3rd Test, Indian pacer Akash Deep got run out after using captain Virat Kohli's bat, sparking reactions on social media. Fans have suggested that MRF bats should be banned as it resulted in two run outs for India. Some even compared Akash Deep's bowling style to that of fellow pacer Mohammed Shami. The incident adds to the woes of India, as Kohli had earlier gotten run out in the same match.
