Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 101 and Mohammed Shami’s five-wicket haul led India to a comfortable six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy opener. 

Champions Trophy 2025: Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami guide India to 6-wicket win over Bangladesh

Shubman Gill&rsquo;s unbeaten 101 and Mohammed Shami&rsquo;s five-wicket haul led India to a comfortable six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy opener.&nbsp;

Shubman Gill was more artisan than artist en route to his eighth ODI hundred after Mohammed Shami&rsquo;s satisfying five-wicket haul, propelling India to a workmanlike six-wicket win over Bangladesh in their Champions Trophy opener here on Thursday.
Gill&rsquo;s unbeaten innings (101, 129b, 9&times;4. 2&times;6) had a mirror image in Bangladesh innings through Towhid Hridoy&rsquo;s 100 (118b) that lifted them to 228 from the depths of 35 for five after batting by choice.
But India negated various pressure points, including a sluggish surface, during their chase effectively through Gill&rsquo;s knock full of substance, and ended up at 231 for four in 46.3 overs.
It&rsquo;s also a nerve-settling victory for India ahead of their much-awaited clash against a more accomplished Pakistan at the same venue on February 23.
Gill, the world&rsquo;s No. 1 ODI batter, played a massive role in it, dishing out a century which was more remarkable for its restraint than the customary flair.
It was also a reflection of his growing stature as India&rsquo;s new generation batting star.
Chasing a modest 229, openers Rohit Sharma (41, 36b) and Gill gave India a rollicking start.
They added 69 runs in 9.5 overs before Rohit got out to pacer Taskin Ahmed while attempting a mighty heave, leaving India at 69 for 1.
The partnership was significant from a game point of view as the pitch slowed down considerably in the middle overs, making batting a tad tougher task.
Virat Kohli looked a bit over-watchful and circumspect before opening his account after facing 10 balls.
Though he grew comfortable, an uppish cut of leg-spinner Rishad Hossain ended his stay for 22.
The quick wickets of Axar Patel, who was once again promoted to No. 5, and Shreyas Iyer had India at a slightly worrying 144 for four.
But KL Rahul, who was dropped on nine by Jaker Ali off Taskin, ensured that there were no further hiccups and played a resolute unbeaten innings of 41 off 47 balls.
Gill and Rahul added 87 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket alliance to carry their side home.
Earlier, a cramping Hridoy, who made a courageous maiden ODI hundred and an equally gutsy Ali (68, 114b, 4&times;4) added 154 for a doughty sixth-wicket stand to give some respectability to Bangladesh total.
<h3>Shami impresses</h3>
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67b806ccaa1c9_1740113612.jpg" width="581" height="326">
India also found another shining shard of positive in Shami&rsquo;s outing.
Shami also eased a lot of worries over the absence of injured pace ace Jasprit Bumrah with a five for 53 effort, and during the spell he also became the fastest Indian bowler to reach 200 ODI wickets.
Hridoy&rsquo;s innings was an example of how to construct an innings yet maintain a healthy run-rate as he reached the milestone in just 114 balls.
He and Ali also showed excellent composure under pressure.
However, both the Bangladesh batters benefited from the largesse of Indian fielders, as Ali was dropped on zero off the first ball he faced off left-arm spinner Axar (2/43).
It also robbed Axar of a hat-trick after he dismissed Mushfiqur Rahim and Tanzid Hasan off successive deliveries.
Hridoy had the fortune when he was grassed by Hardik Pandya at mid-off off Kuldeep Yadav when he was on 23.
Rahul, who was sharp behind the stumps, floored a stumping chance to give the second reprieve for Hridoy.
But those moments of slip-ups should not take anything away from the way Indian bowlers, especially Shami, used the new ball on a rather slow but smooth pitch.
Shami, who had an average outing against England in T20I and ODI series recently at home, did not disappoint on the big stage and took the wicket of opener Soumya Sarkar in the first over itself.
He did not take much time to grab his second wicket when he ousted Mehdy Hasan Miraz &mdash; caught brilliantly by Shubman Gill in the slips.
The Bengal pacer later returned to break the determined stand between Hridoy and Ali, dismissing the latter.
He later took two more wickets, and now the 34-year-old is India&rsquo;s highest wicket taker in ICC tournaments, going past former pacer Zaheer Khan (59).
Harshit Rana (3/31) gave good backing to his senior partner.
<h3>Rohit Sharma praises &ldquo;classy&rdquo; Gill and Shami</h3>
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/67b806b7b096a_1740113591.jpg" width="579" height="325">
Skipper Rohit Sharma showered praise on his deputy Shubman Gill and veteran pacer Mohammed Shami for coming up with game-changing performances against Bangladesh in India&rsquo;s Champions Trophy opener against Bangladesh here on Thursday.
Gill made an unbeaten hundred and Shami walked away with a five-wicket haul as India registered a six-wicket win over Bangladesh at the DICS.
&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been in that situation many times before and like I said many times (in the past), there&rsquo;s a lot of experience in that dressing room to handle that composure where it&rsquo;s needed and KL (Rahul) and (Shubman) Gill at the end were quite composed,&rdquo; Rohit said during the post-match presentation.
Rohit heaped praise on player of the match Gill.
&ldquo;Gill, we know the class that he has, he&rsquo;s been batting brilliantly of late and today what he showed us with the bat shouldn&rsquo;t surprise anyone,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;What was good to see that he was there till the end to make sure that he sees off the game,&rdquo; Rohit added.
Rohit also lauded Shami for his five-for that helped the pacer to complete 200 wickets in ODIs.
&ldquo;Yeah, very happy for him. (It has been a) long time waiting, we obviously know what he brings to us,&rdquo; Rohit said.
&ldquo;The quality that he has, the kind of match winner he is developing himself into for us, every time we throw the ball at him he&rsquo;s got something up his sleeves, which is always nice and we need guys like these to stand up in big moments,&rdquo; he added.
Rohit said India expect the pitch here at the Dubai International Stadium to remain slow for their next Champions Trophy clash against Pakistan on February 23.
&ldquo;Very hard to say that,&rdquo; Rohit replied when asked if his side thought the pitch behaved as per their expectations.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just one game, very hard to make anything out of the track, but we knew there&rsquo;s not enough grass on the pitch and it is going to be on the slower side and that is exactly how the pitch played,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;But again, you play (according to) the conditions. You try and think about what you want to do as a team and I thought we adapted to the conditions really well, to start with our bowling.&rdquo;
India were off to a brisk start but were forced to change their approach midway through the innings and Rohit admitted his side was &ldquo;under pressure&rdquo; chasing 229.
&ldquo;With the bat as well, yes, we were under pressure a little bit. But when you&rsquo;re playing a game like this, (in the) Champions Trophy (against a) quality team, you&rsquo;re bound to be under pressure and that is where the experience comes into play,&rdquo; he said.
The Mumbaikar said he was not happy with the dropped catch of Jaker Ali (68) which denied Axar Patel a hat-trick.
&ldquo;May take him for dinner tomorrow,&rdquo; he quipped.
&ldquo;It was an easy catch. I should have taken that catch, the standard that I have set for myself, standing in the first slip, that was a little disappointing, but these things happen,&rdquo; Rohit added.
&ldquo;But again, the way these guys bowled that set the game for us to be honest, I know they were 36 for five and then they got a big partnership.&rdquo;
&ldquo;These things are bound to happen, there will be partnerships, credit to (Towhid) Hridoy and Jaker Ali, they played brilliantly to stitch that big partnership,&rdquo; he said.
Gill termed his 101 not out as &ldquo;one of the most satisfying innings&rdquo; for himself
&ldquo;Definitely (it was) one of my most satisfying innings that I&rsquo;ve played and my first century in an ICC event so very satisfying and very happy with the way I performed,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;When myself and Rohit bhai went out there, cutting the ball wasn&rsquo;t that easy because the balls outside the off (stump) weren&rsquo;t coming onto the bat. So I thought of using my feet to even the fast bowlers when I&rsquo;m trying to go over the circle,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;When the when the spinners came on me and Virat bhai were talking about in the middle that it&rsquo;s not easy to score signals off the front foot,&rdquo; he added.
Gill said he was asked to finish off the match. &ldquo;At one point there was a bit of pressure on us and the message was sent from outside (that) I have to try to be at the end and that&rsquo;s what I tried to do,&rdquo; he said.

Mohammed Shami is poised for a T20I comeback with Team India after overcoming an ankle injury. Demonstrating commitment at Eden Gardens, he readies for England series.

Shami makes India comeback, impresses in T20I practice session

Mohammed Shami, overcoming an ankle injury, is set to rejoin India’s T20I squad. His intensive practice at Eden Gardens hints at a promising performance in the England series.

Mohammed Shami makes his comeback to Team India, showing promising signs at the T20I practice session ahead of the England series. Despite knee discomfort, he bowled with intensity and showcased his rhythm at Eden Gardens.

Star fast bowler Mohammed Shami is poised to make his highly anticipated return to the Indian cricket team after recovering from an ankle injury that kept him out for the entire 2024 season. The 34-year-old, who was the top wicket-taker in the 2023 ODI World Cup, last played for India on November 19, 2023. After a successful return to domestic cricket with Bengal in November, Shami has been included in India&rsquo;s T20I squad for the upcoming five-match series against England.
On January 19, Shami took part in India&rsquo;s first practice session at Eden Gardens. Reports indicate that while the pacer bowled with intensity for over an hour, he experienced slight discomfort and was seen limping back to the dressing room. However, he soon returned to the field and interacted with his Bengal teammates while managing his heavily strapped left knee.
Shami, who will spearhead India&rsquo;s pace attack for the series, started his practice with a gentle warm-up session under the guidance of bowling coach Morne Morkel. After initially bowling with short strides, he gradually increased his intensity, bowling a fiery spell with a long run-up, reminiscent of his prime form. He troubled the young batters in the nets, including Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma, extracting bounce and movement. Dhruv Jurel, however, took on Shami with some aggressive shots, challenging the pacer&rsquo;s rhythm.
Despite the taxing session, Shami completed nearly 45 minutes of intense bowling without needing assistance from the team&rsquo;s medical staff, signaling a promising return to full fitness.

The selection of India’s squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy is set to be challenging, with players like KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja facing uncertainty about their places in the team. 

India’s CT 2025 Squad Selection: Key Players Under Scrutiny for Champions Trophy

The selection of India&rsquo;s squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy is set to be challenging, with players like KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami, and Ravindra Jadeja facing uncertainty about their places in the team.&nbsp;

Out-of-form veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will continue to form the batting core of India's ODI squad but there are at least three senior players whose future in the 50-over format could be debated when the selectors gather this weekend to pick the squad for the Champions Trophy.
KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja's presence in the side is not a surety for the event starting February 19 even though they were a part of last year's World Cup.
Since the final, India have played six ODIs and while Shami and Jadeja were rested, Rahul was included for both the away bilateral engagements against South Africa and Sri Lanka.
Against Sri Lanka, however, he was dropped in the middle of the series after failing to get going in the middle overs. The world is also yet to forget how his sedate half century after using up 100-plus deliveries became a prime reason for India's loss on November 19, 2023 against Australia.
It is understood that Yashasvi Jaiswal has a very bright chance of making it to the ODI squad. His inclusion would ensure a left-handed batter in the top four.
But if Rishabh Pant is the first-choice wicketkeeper, then would there be any point in having Rahul as the back-up? And if Rahul is not keeping, his place as a batter is not guaranteed.
Among his closest competitors, Ishan Kishan hasn't scored enough runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy while Sanju Samson hasn't been picked by Kerala after he missed the initial games.
If coach Gautam Gambhir still has his say in selection matters like he did till the disastrous Australia tour, then Samson, one of his personal favourites, will surely make the cut.
India will play all their Champions Trophy games in Dubai, starting with the clash against Bangladesh on February 20. This was after the team refused to travel to original hosts Pakistan citing security concerns.
&nbsp;
Jadeja's white-ball woes
Jadeja's white ball batting hasn't been as good as it used to be and those who are tracking the selection committee feel that Axar Patel is being seen as way more effective in the ODIs at the moment.
Washington Sundar is expected to make it as an off-spinner but Kuldeep Yadav's fitness is something that selectors would be fretting on. Kuldeep is near full fitness but hasn't played a Vijay Hazare Trophy game.
In case Kuldeep fails to make it, one among Ravi Bishnoi or Varun Chakravarthy is expected to be picked.
&nbsp;
Shami's fitness
Coming to Mohammed Shami, the veteran pacer's communication with the team management and the selection committee on his fitness status didn't seem to have the required clarity.
However, he has bowled eight overs each in the last two Vijay Hazare Trophy games and in case Jasprit Bumrah fails to make it due to back spasms, Shami's experience will become crucial for the side.
Hardik Pandya is the seam bowling all-rounder and it will be interesting to see if Nitish Reddy will be considered.
Among the reserve specialist batters, the choice could be between Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma.
&nbsp;
Champions Trophy (In Contention):
Rohit Sharma (capt), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy/Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan/Mohammed Shami, Rinku Singh/Tilak Varma.

The 33-year-old took to social media platform X to share that he's looking forward to the healing process after the removal of his stitches.

<h2>The 33-year-old took to social media platform X to share that he's looking forward to the healing process after the removal of his stitches.</h2>

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has crossed a significant milestone in his recovery from an ankle injury, having undergone surgery last month to address the issue. On Wednesday, Shami shared an encouraging update on his rehabilitation journey, signaling his readiness to move forward with the healing process after the removal of his stitches.
In a heartfelt message posted on the social media platform 'X', Shami expressed his gratitude for the medical advancements that have supported his recovery thus far. "Hello everyone! I wanted to provide an update on my recovery process. It has been 15 days since my surgery, and I recently had my stitches removed. I am thankful for the advancements and looking forward to the next stage of my healing journey," he conveyed, alongside three photos documenting his progress.
The absence of the 33-year-old from the cricket field has been notable, particularly since his last appearance in the ODI World Cup in 2023, where he played a pivotal role in India's campaign. Despite experiencing discomfort and issues with his landing, Shami's commitment didn't waver, as he managed to claim 24 wickets, demonstrating his resilience and dedication to the team.
Regrettably, Shami's injury has led to his withdrawal from the recent five-match Test series against England and the forthcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Furthermore, it has been confirmed that, along with his colleague Prasidh Krishna, Shami will not participate in this year's T20 World Cup.
Having been honoured with the Arjuna Award, Shami's illustrious career spans over a decade, during which he has accumulated 229 wickets in Tests, 195 in ODIs, and 24 in T20Is.&nbsp;

Mohammed Shami's comeback likely by home series against Bangladesh: Jay Shah

Shami last played for India in the ODI World Cup where he was their standout performer. India will host Bangladesh for two Tests and three T20 Internationals in September.

India's premier pacer Mohammed Shami, who is recuperating from ankle surgery, is expected to return with the home Test series against Bangladesh later this year, BCCI secretary Jay Shah told PTI.
Shami missed the five-match Test series against England and will also sit out of the IPL after having undergone surgery for Achilles tendon last month.

The BCCI secretary also updated Rishabh Pant, who is set to make his much-awaited comeback in the IPL. Pant has been out of action since a horrific car accident in December 2022.
"He is batting well, he is keeping well. We will declare him fit very soon. If he can play in the T20 World Cup for us, that will be a big thing. He is a big asset for us.

Mohammed Shami on Monday took to social media to inform that he had underwent a successful heel operation and also gave an update about his return.
&ldquo;Just had a successful heel operation on my Achilles tendon! Recovery is going to take some time, but looking forward to getting back on my feet,&rdquo; Shami wrote.
According to reports, Shami had to undergo surgery in the United Kingdom which ruled him out of upcoming IPL 2024.
The pacer has been out of action shince India's ODI World Cup final loss to Australia on November 19. Since then, he has missed the T20I series against Australia at home, the tour of South Africa and the home Test series against England.
Earlier in January, Shami said that he was hoping to recover for the series against England, but the rub of the green did not go his way.
"My rehabilitation is well on track and the medical experts at NCA are happy with my progress," Shami had told the Times of India.

Mohammed Shami is looking at a lengthy layoff, with BCCI sources indicating to PTI that the pacer is expected to return to cricket towards the end of the year.

<h2>Mohammed Shami is looking at a lengthy layoff, with BCCI sources indicating to PTI that the pacer is expected to return to cricket towards the end of the year.</h2>

Mohammed Shami, the seasoned fast bowler for India, is set to miss the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season following the decision that he must undergo surgery in the United Kingdom for a left ankle injury. This development was disclosed by a source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday to PTI, casting a shadow on the player's immediate cricketing engagements.
Shami, 33, who has been a crucial figure in India's bowling lineup, has not participated in the current Test series against England. His last appearance on the field was during the ODI World Cup final against Australia in November, where he played a pivotal role in India's journey through the tournament.
According to PTI, the decision for surgery comes after an unsuccessful attempt to remedy the injury with special ankle injections in London during the last week of January. Despite hopes that Shami could resume light running three weeks post-injection, the treatment did not yield the expected results, leading to the conclusion that surgery is the necessary course of action. "But the injection hasn't worked and now the only option left is surgery. He will shortly leave for UK for surgery. IPL seems out of question," said the BCCI source, who preferred to remain unnamed.
Throughout his decade-long career, Shami has been a key player for India, contributing significantly across all formats. His impressive tally includes 229 Test, 195 ODI, and 24 T20 wickets. The recent setback not only questions the effectiveness of the injury rehabilitation strategy employed by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) but also puts Shami's participation in future series in doubt, notably the home matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand as well as the highly anticipated series in Australia.
Critics argue that the NCA's conservative approach to Shami's injury management has proven inadequate. "Shami should have gone directly for surgery and that should have been NCA's call. Just two months of rest and injections wouldn't have worked well and that's what has happened. He is an asset and the Indian team would need him in Australia," the source elaborated.
As Shami prepares for surgery, his absence will undoubtedly be felt in the upcoming IPL season and potentially in India's cricket schedule that follows the marquee T20 league.

"I feel Virat is the best and Rohit Sharma is the most dangerous batter in the world" - Mohammed Shami

Mohammed Shami calls Virat Kohli 'best batsman' and Rohit Sharma 'most dangerous' in the world

"Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world. Rohit Sharma is the most dangerous batter in the world" - Mohammed Shami

<h2>"I feel Virat is the best and Rohit Sharma is the most dangerous batter in the world" - Mohammed Shami</h2>

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has openly expressed his deep respect for two of cricket's luminaries, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. In a statement filled with admiration, Shami declared Virat Kohli as the unparalleled "best batsman in the world" while heaping praise on Kohli's knack for surpassing records. Simultaneously, Shami bestowed the title of "the most dangerous batter in the world" upon Rohit Sharma, highlighting the Indian skipper's potent threat to opponents when wielding the bat.
The accolades come in the wake of Rohit Sharma's leadership in the recent Vizag Test against England, where India clinched a 106-run victory, evening out the series at 1-1. On another front, Virat Kohli is currently unavailable, choosing to miss the initial matches against England, citing personal reasons linked to his family.
Shami's admiration was vocalized during an interview with News18, where he stated, "Virat Kohli is the best batsman in the world. Virat has just broken a lot of records. I feel Virat is the best and Rohit Sharma is the most dangerous batter in the world."

Beyond his commendations for Kohli and Sharma, Shami also reflected on his own journey, particularly his standout role in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. With 24 wickets to his name, Shami was the tournament's top wicket-taker, a feat that has magnified his profile. Despite his personal success, Shami humbly attributes the Indian team's recent achievements to the collective efforts and evolution of its fast bowlers since 2013-2014.
Discussing the broader trajectory of India's bowling capabilities, Shami highlighted the significant progress made over the years, culminating in a formidable fast bowling contingent at the 2023 World Cup. He emphasized the importance of setting a high benchmark for future generations, saying, "People talk about the performance of the bowlers during the World Cup, but, if you have to look at the overall picture, you have to go back to 2013 and 2014. That is where the journey started. If we look at the facts now, we only had three fast bowlers performing in the World Cup this time, which makes us believe that we have set the benchmark for future bowlers."

Shami's name was recommended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after his sensational outing in Cricket World Cup 2023.

India's best-performing athletes were on Tuesday conferred with the national sports awards by President Droupadi Murmu in a regal ceremony.
Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami walked in to rapturous applause at the Rashtrapati Bhawan as he was bestowed with the Arjuna Award.
Shami's name was recommended by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after his sensational outing in Cricket World Cup 2023.
The fast bowler, who is currently in rehab, finished the tournament as the highest wicket-taker, with 24 scalps in just 7 matches.
"This award is a dream, life passes and people are not able to win this award. I am happy that I have been nominated for this award," Shami had said ahead of the award ceremony.
Shuttlers Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy were presented the coveted Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award for a breakout 2023, during which they won their maiden Asian Games gold -- a first for India in badminton --, while also clinching the Asian Championships title and the Indonesia Open Super 1000 title.
The awards ceremony, usually held on August 29 to commemorate the birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand, was deferred because of the Hangzhou Asian Games from September 23 till October 8 last year.
An atmosphere of gaiety pervaded the Rashtrapati Bhawan as 26 athletes and para-athletes were conferred the Arjuna Awards.
Chirag and Satwik, who became world No.1 last year, would be aiming for an Olympic medal in Paris, having all but sealed qualification for the global showpiece later this year by virtue of being world No.2.
"Yes that is our next goal (to win an Olympic medal). We hope to do the country proud again," said Chirag.
Also receiving a huge round of applause was the newly-crowned chess Grandmaster R. Vaishali, the elder sister of precocious chess talent R. Praggnanandhaa.
Vaishali was honoured for becoming the third woman from the country after Koneru Humpy and Dronavalli Harika to turn GM.

No Mohd Shami for home Tests vs England; Suryakumar Yadav ruled out till IPL: report

As per an Indian Express report, it appears that India's ace speedster Mohammed Shami will be out of action for a bit longer than anticipated.

India's Mohammed Shami will most likely miss the first two Tests against England that commence January 25 owing to his ankle injury, The Indian Express reported on Monday.&nbsp; The report also provided an update on T20I star Suryakumar Yadav. Yadav, who has been out of action since the third T20I against South Africa in Johannesburg, is suffering from hernia and will reportedly undergo surgery.&nbsp; The report quoted a BCCI source as saying, 'Shami hasn&rsquo;t even started to bowl, he will have to go to NCA and prove his fitness. He looks doubtful for the first two Tests against England.'&nbsp; The source added, 'Whereas in Yadav&rsquo;s case he will take more time than expected. After his hernia operation it might take up to eight-nine weeks for him to start training. Hopefully he will be fit during the IPL.'&nbsp;

Chronic heel issue that troubled Mohd Shami during World Cup also sidelined him in Tests vs SA: report

Mohammed&nbsp;Shami,&nbsp;who&nbsp;took&nbsp;the&nbsp;most&nbsp;wickets&nbsp;during&nbsp;the&nbsp;2023&nbsp;World&nbsp;Cup,&nbsp;is&nbsp;presently&nbsp;recovering&nbsp;from an injury

Mohammed Shami was the 2023 ICC Men's ODI World Cup's most impressive bowler, taking 24 wickets throughout the competition while battling a chronic injury simultaneously. The right-arm pacer, who missed the first few games, made a lasting impression with his incredible performance.
As per a news agency PTI report, Shami would take injections to relieve him of pain he was allegedly experiencing throughout the World Cup due to his 'left heel issue.'
&ldquo;Shami has a chronic left heel issue. A lot of people don&rsquo;t know that he took injections regularly during World Cup and played the entire tournament through pain,&rdquo; PTI revealed quoting an unnamed former Bengal teammate of Shami. The same injury has reportedly sidelined Shami from the ongoing Test series vs South Africa.&nbsp;
To give their batting more depth, India started the ODI series with fast-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, and Shami missed the first four matches.
However, Shami seized the chance to finish with 24 wickets from just seven matches, including three five-fors, after Hardik Pandya suffered an untimely injury against Bangladesh in Pune. He has not played any competitive cricket since India's devastating loss on November 19 against Australia.&nbsp;

Mohammed Shami opens up on India’s World Cup final loss against Australia

 “The whole nation was disappointed" - India's star pacer Mohammed Shami opens up on the team's heartbreaking World Cup final loss to Australia.

<h2>India's star pacer Mohammed Shami spoke on the team's heartbreaking World Cup final loss against Australia in November.</h2>

Mohammed Shami opened up about India&rsquo;s near-successful World Cup campaign, where he flexed his golden arm to become the highest wicket-taker in the tournament. Shami, however, said the World Cup final loss against Australia cannot be explained.
Speaking to reporters, Shami said, &ldquo;The whole nation was disappointed. We tried a hundred percent to continue the momentum till the end that we had created and win the final. But it cannot be explained where we went wrong at the end.&rdquo;
India won all league-stage games in the World Cup and defeated New Zealand in the semis to secure their berth in the final. However, the Men in Blue faltered right at the very end, missing out on their third ODI World Cup.
Australia beat India by 6 wickets in the final game in Ahmedabad, where Shami managed to take just one wicket. Travis Head guided the Aussies to victory after tallying 137 runs off 20 deliveries.
Shami&rsquo;s World Cup campaign started late in the tournament, having missed the first 4 matches. However, he still emerged as the leading wicket-taker. The pacer finished with 24 dismissals in the World Cup, one more than Australia&rsquo;s Adam Zampa.

<h2>Mohammed Shami has been enduring ankle pain and reportedly managed this discomfort throughout the World Cup, particularly while landing his right foot during delivery.</h2>

Mohammed Shami's participation in the upcoming Test series against South Africa is uncertain, with a high likelihood of him being ruled out due to injury. According to Cricbuzz, Shami is dealing with an ankle injury and will not join the rest of the Indian Test squad traveling to South Africa.
The final group of players, including captain Rohit Sharma, is set to depart for Johannesburg on December 15, but Shami, aged 33, will not be among them.
The group flying to South Africa includes prominent players like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, R Ashwin, Navdeep Saini, and Harshit Rana, departing via Dubai.
The Indian selectors have yet to announce a direct replacement for Shami. However, with an extensive roster of over 75 Indian players across various formats touring South Africa, it's believed a pacer from this pool could fill in for the Test series.
Shami's selection for the Test series was conditional, given his ongoing medical treatment. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had previously acknowledged his injury situation in a statement on November 30, stating, "Mr. Mohd. Shami is currently undergoing medical treatment, and his availability is subject to fitness."
The fast bowler has been enduring ankle pain and reportedly managed this discomfort throughout the World Cup, particularly while landing his right foot during delivery.
The first Test of the series is scheduled to begin on Boxing Day, December 26, at Centurion, followed by the second Test at Newlands in Cape Town. Before the start of the Test series, a three-day preparatory game is planned from December 20 for the Test squad members.

<h2>"If I have to do Sajda, I will do it. What is the problem? I say it with pride that I am Muslim. I am an Indian, I say it with pride that I am an Indian" - Mohammed Shami</h2>

Mohammed Shami was the standout performer with the ball for India in the ODI Cricket World Cup. Despite missing the first four matches, Shami finished the tournament with 24 wickets in just seven games, the highest tally in the tournament.&nbsp;
Following his remarkable performances, including three 5-fers, with a standout seven-wicket haul against New Zealand in the semi-final, the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/bcci-recommends-mohammed-shami-s-name-for-prestigious-arjuna-award-reports-1702477305257">Indian pacer has now been nominated for the prestigious Arjuna Award</a> - the nation's second biggest sporting honour.
And the veteran pacer now has finally broken his silence on the 'Sajda' controversy. Following his five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka during the World Cup, Shami kneeled on the ground, a gesture that some social media users misinterpreted.
In an interview with Aaj Tak, Shami addressed this issue. "If somebody wants to do Sajda, who will stop him? I will not stop anybody from your religion, you will not stop anybody from my religion. If I have to do Sajda, I will do it. What is the problem? I say it with pride that I am Muslim. I am an Indian, I say it with pride that I am an Indian," he asserted.
Shami emphasized his Indian identity and religious freedom, stating, "If I had an issue, I wouldn't have lived in India. If I need to take anyone's permission to do Sajda, why should I live here?" He also clarified that his kneeling was due to exhaustion from exceeding his physical limits during bowling, and not for religious reasons.
Shami, who is currently undergoing medical treatment, is slated to join the Indian cricket team for the upcoming Test series in South Africa starting December 26.&nbsp;

#Shami #BCCI #ArjunaAward

<h2>As per reports, the BCCI made a special appeal to the Sports Ministry for Shami's inclusion in the nominations, as his name was initially absent from the list.</h2>

Indian pacer Mohammed Shami's name has been proposed for the distinguished Arjuna Award this year, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) advocating for his nomination, according to PTI.
At 33 years of age, Shami delivered an exceptional performance in the ODI World Cup, contributing significantly to India's runner-up finish. As per PTI, sources from the ministry revealed that the BCCI made a special appeal to the Sports Ministry for Shami's inclusion in the nominations, as his name was initially absent from the list for the nation's second-highest sporting accolade.
During the World Cup, Shami emerged as the top wicket-taker, claiming an impressive 24 wickets in just seven matches. Despite not playing in the initial four games, Shami's entry into the lineup was marked by outstanding performances, securing 24 wickets at an average of merely 5.26.
Shami is also expected to be a part of the Indian squad for the forthcoming two-match Test series against South Africa. The series is set to commence with a boxing day Test starting on December 26 in Centurion, followed by a second match in Cape Town beginning on January 3.
The selection for this year's sports awards, including the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award and the Arjuna Award, will be decided by a 12-member committee appointed by the ministry.&nbsp;
This panel includes six former international athletes: hockey star Dhanraj Pillay, table tennis veteran Kamlesh Mehta, boxing pro Akhil Kumar, national shooting coach and former shooter Shuma Shirur, ex-cricketer Anjum Chopra, badminton player Tripti Murgunde, and powerlifter Farman Pasha.

Days after the Board of Control for Cricket in India revaled that India's premier pacer Mohammed Shami is receiving medical treatment, it was reported that the 33-year-old is suffering from an ankle issue.

Mohammed Shami consults orthopaedics in Mumbai for ankle issue | India Tour of South Africa

Days after the Board of Control for Cricket in India revaled that India's premier pacer Mohammed Shami is receiving medical treatment, it was reported that the 33-year-old is suffering from an ankle issue.

Star pacer Mohammed Shami has developed an ankle condition, which currently requires medical attention, as the Indian team management will hope that he regains fitness in time for the first Test against South Africa starting from December 26 at Centurion.
Shami's name has been kept in the Test squad with a star mark and the BCCI media release stated that he "is currently undergoing medical treatment and his availability is subject to fitness." However, there was no specific information on the nature of the injury as to whether he suffered it on the field or more fitness related.
But it has been learnt that Shami was in Mumbai to consult a sports orthopaedic to diagnose his ankle condition.
"It is not exactly an on-field injury. It is an ankle condition that has developed. Shami came to Mumbai to consult the doctors. He will also go to NCA for rehab and recuperation work.
"The national selectors wouldn't have selected him had there not been a chance of him getting fit in time for the Boxing Day Test," a BCCI source, privy to the development, told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
Shami didn't appear in the first four matches of the recent ODI World Cup due to the team composition requirements.
He got a chance to play in the fifth match after Hardik Pandya tore his left ankle ligament trying to stop a powerful shot on his follow-through in the match against Bangladesh.
Shami ended up getting 24 wickets in seven games and was one of the biggest reasons behind India's sustained dominance for 10 straight games in the showpiece before losing the final to Australia.
"Shami, in fact, came to watch one of Bengal's Vijay Hazare Trophy games as his younger brother Mohammed Kaif is also playing. He seemed to be walking with a slight limp," a Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) source said.
It will be interesting to note whether Shami would play the three-day intra-squad match between India Seniors and India A squads, which is a tune-up for the Tests.
It is also learnt for the time being, Shami won't play white ball games as there are seven Test matches, including five against England at home and the 'Amroha Express' is expected to play a big role in the sub-continental conditions where the ball reverses a lot.
Whether Shami will play next year's T20 World Cup will depend on how he fares in the Indian Premier League, where he has had two good seasons for the Gujarat Titans.

In a video posted by the Indian pacer on social media platform Instagram, the pacer is seen rescuing a car accident victim near Nainital and also gave him medical help on the scene.

How one incident changed Mohammed Shami's career trajectory 

Shami, who belongs to Uttar Pradesh, has never played for his state's team in domestic cricket.&nbsp;

India's highest wicket-taker of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Mohammed Shami, recently opened up about his early years in cricket. During an interview with the sports and apparel brand PUMA, Shami recounted his days of struggle, saying that he was 'kicked out' by selectors on numerous occasions during the Uttar Pradesh Ranji Trophy team trials. The Indian pacer also recalled the shocking reply by the selectors when his brother questioned the reasons behind Shami's non-selection. The cricket official told his brother, 'If you can move my chair, then the boy will be selected. It&rsquo;s very good. Otherwise, sorry.' Shami told Puma, that his brother tore the form and decided that it was time for him to play for another team, facilitating his move to Bengal. Mohammed Shami belongs to Uttar Pradesh but has never played for his state's team in domestic cricket. For the past 15 odd years, the 33-year-old has called Bengal his home ground.

Shami didn't like is the illogical conspiracy theories thrown his way from former Pakistan cricketers saying that the Shami was given a special or that the ICC have arranged a different ball for Team India and for the 33-year-old.

'Few former Pakistan players think they are the best in the world, and can&rsquo;t digest better player and India&rsquo;s success' - Mohd Shami

Mohammed Shami had an ODI World Cup to remember as the Indian pacer surprised everyone by emerging as Team India's spearhead in the campaign, ending the tournament as the leading wicket-taker with 24 scalps to his name.
However, what Shami didn't like was the illogical conspiracy theories thrown his way from former Pakistan cricketers saying that Shami was using a different coloured cricket ball to bowl or that the ICC have arranged a different kind of ball for the 33-year-old.
In a recent interview, Shami said &ldquo;I was not playing but I was hearing all those conspiracy theories. When I played my first match, I took five wickets, in the second I bagged four, and then again a fifer in my third game. Few Pakistani cricketers couldn&rsquo;t digest this fact, how can I help with it,&rdquo;&nbsp;
'Few former Pakistan players think they are the best in the world, and can&rsquo;t digest better player and India&rsquo;s success. For me the real performers are those cricketers who work hard and perform for the team when it matters the most,&rdquo; he added.
