Will Mohammed Shami be able to make a comeback in the Indian cricket team once again? This question is going around in the mind of every cricket fan.
33-year-old Shami, who is famous for his fast bowling action and deadly swing, has been battling injury and fitness for some time now.
But now, his entry in the Duleep Trophy has made the hearts of the fans restless.
Shami’s Big Comeback, Can He Rule Again?
According to a report, the national selectors are keeping an eye on the Duleep Trophy to finalise India’s white-ball team for the Asia Cup. Shami will be seen playing for the East Zone in this tournament.
The question is, does Shami still have the strength left to do wonders for India again?
“The name of Mohammed Shami, featuring in the East Zone squad, raised interest as it remains to be seen whether the fast bowler has still got the steam left to deliver for India,”
Shami’s career has been like a roller-coaster in the last few years. In the 2023 ODI World Cup, he created a stir by taking 24 wickets in 7 matches. But after this the injury kept him away from the field.
Recently he was included in Bengal’s probables list, but did not appear in the ongoing camp in Kolkata. Still, the Bengal team management is confident that Shami will take the field soon.
A Bengal team source said
“Shami is doing everything to get ready for the season,”
Shami’s explosive comeback expected
The buzz about Shami’s return is also strong because he has been a game-changer for India in Australia.
He has taken 31 wickets in 8 Tests on Australian pitches, that too with a brilliant average of 32.16.
Fans remember his 2023 World Cup form, when he emerged as a nightmare for the batsmen in every match.
But after the injury, questions are being raised about his fitness. Will he be able to show the same old magic again?
Shami himself has shown a glimpse of his hard work on social media. Recently, he shared a video on Instagram, in which he was seen practicing hard.
He wrote, “Behind every confident shot is quiet, relentless practice”
This spirit shows that Shami is not one to give up.
At present, fans on social media are excited about Shami’s return. But now it remains to be seen whether Shami is able to win the hearts of the selectors by making a splash in the Duleep Trophy, or he will have to wait more.
