Mohammed Shami: Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has been suffering from injuries for the past several months. So he was away from cricket for a long time, he was not a part of IPL even in IPL 2024. He returned to the Indian team in the Champions Trophy held a few months ago. He performed well in the Champions Trophy. He is currently playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025. But he has not been able to perform well in IPL 2025 yet.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s performance in 2025 IPL was not good. But SRH fast bowler Mohammed Shami did something special against Chennai on Friday. He dismissed CSK opener Sheikh Rashid on the very first ball without opening the account. Interestingly, Shami has not done this for the first time. Even before this, he has achieved similar achievements in three sessions of IPL. The hunt of Mohammed Shami also includes veteran batsmen.

In 2014, Shami made Jacks Kallis his victim. This season of IPL was played in 2014 and Kallis came to open for KKR. It was caught by Ross Taylor. After this, in 2022, Shami dismissed KL Rahul, captain and opener of Lucknow Super Giants. Matthew Wade caught Rahul’s catch. In 2023, Mohammed Shami dismissed Phil Salat on the very first ball, which was caught by David Miller. This year, Sheikh Rashid’s name has also been added to Mohammed Shami’s list of bold people.
