Delhi: In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, both the fitness and form of the star Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) remain a big problem. Shami has so far failed to repeat his old performance and has been able to take only 6 wickets in 9 matches this season. SRH bought him last year’s mega auction for Rs 10 crore. Due to injury, he could not play the previous season and this season was being seen as his comeback.
In the IPL of 2023, Shami won the purple cap with 28 wickets in 17 matches while bowling tremendously. It is also the third biggest wicket tally in a season.
Coach Vetori gave Shami’s fitness update
Now SRH coach Daniel Vettori has broken the silence on Shami’s fitness in the press conference. He said that the team has no concern about Shami’s fitness.
Vetori said, “There is no problem with our fitness on our side. He has made good preparations. Before coming to this tournament, he also had great expectations, especially after a brilliant bowling in the Champions Trophy. Two years ago he has won the purple cap in the IPL, then we know that he can do well. But this time, things are not expected in his side. This is also disappointing for them, but they are working hard so that they can return soon. ”
Shami in IPL 2025
However, this time the season has proved to be very bad for Shami. He had scored 74 runs in 4 overs against Punjab Kings, which is the most expensive spell of any Indian bowler in IPL history. It was also the second most expensive over in the history of the tournament.
SRH’s team will now face Delhi Capitals on Monday and is on the verge of being out of the playoff race. The team has just 6 points and four matches are left. In such a situation, even if SRH also regains victory, he will still have to depend on the results of the rest of the teams.
