IPL 2025: Mohammed Shami Is Not Looking Good Right Now, Says Aakash Chopra
World Test Championship: Former India opener Aakash Chopra believes that veteran pacer Mohammed Shami is not looking good right now in IPL 2025, adding that a big question mark appears over which version of him would turn up for the Test series against England, starting on June 20.
Shami didn't play IPL 2024 due to an achilles tendon surgery needed to solve his heel injury. But this season has seen Shami struggle to be at his best – picking just six wickets from nine matches at an average of 56.17 and an economy rate of 11.23.
His poor form extended to Sunrisers Hyderabad’s 38-run loss to Gujarat Titans’ (GT) in Ahmedabad, where he was hit for 48 runs in three overs. "This tournament is such that it doesn't matter who you are. If you're not delivering the goods, you will be taken to the cleaners, and right now, what I see with Shami is, pace down is one bit, second is not enough balls getting bowled in the same area.”
