Cricket enthusiasts were treated to a masterclass in fast bowling as Mohammad Shami displayed his trademark skill during the Sunrisers Hyderabad versus Mumbai Indians clash in the TATA IPL 2025 season.
The IPL’s official Instagram shared footage of Shami in action with the caption, “A sight that we can never get tired of watching.” Sporting the SRH jersey, Shami showcased his trademark seam and control.
Shami’s Triumphant Return
The match marks another significant appearance for Shami since his return to competitive cricket following a lengthy injury layoff. The 33-year-old fast bowler had been sidelined for nearly a year after undergoing surgery for an ankle injury sustained during the 2023 ODI World Cup, where he was India’s leading wicket-taker with 24 wickets.
Shami was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2025 auction after being released by Gujarat Titans. His return to the cricket field has been gradually building momentum, with the pacer showing glimpses of his lethal best in recent matches.
Cricket fans on social media have been particularly appreciative of watching Shami’s classic seam position and rhythmic run-up back in action. His ability to move the ball both ways at a considerable pace has always been his hallmark, and the SRH vs MI match provided ample evidence that these skills remain intact despite his time away from the game.
Commitment To Fitness
Shami has been actively sharing his fitness journey, posting training updates with captions like “Stronger than yesterday” and “Sweaty and satisfied.” His efforts off the field reflect the discipline fueling his on-field resurgence.
Career Resurgence
Shami, who made his international debut for India in 2013, has been one of the country’s premier fast bowlers across all formats. Nicknamed “Lala” by teammates and fans, Shami continues to command respect with his consistent performances. With over 200 Test wickets and 150+ in ODIs, his presence in SRH’s lineup adds valuable experience and firepower.
His career has seen several phases of brilliance interrupted by injuries, but his resilience has been a defining characteristic. The current IPL season represents another chapter in Shami’s journey of comebacks, with the pacer looking determined to reestablish himself as one of the most feared bowlers in world cricket.
As the IPL season unfolds, Shami’s return is one of the standout stories — a reminder of grit, skill, and the art of fast bowling.
