VIDEO: Mohammed Shami demonstrates exceptional batting skills in recent practice session

New Delhi: Indian pacer Mohammed Shami showcased his batting skills during a recent practice session. Following his recovery from a long injury layoff, Shami left onlookers impressed with his solid strokeplay in the nets, opting to bat without donning the usual protective gear such as a helmet or pads.

Mohammed Shami has been sidelined for over a year due to persistent injury issues. A prolonged ankle injury kept him away from the game for 10 months, and a knee swelling nearly sidelined him for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In the meantime, the Bengal pacer has been given a break for the initial stages of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, he is utilizing this time to enhance his batting abilities.

Mohammed Shami sharpens hitting skills amid injury concerns:
In a viral video circulating on social media, Mohammed Shami displayed perfect technique and powerful hitting, earning admiration from fans. His focus on improving his batting, even during practice, highlights his dedication to refining all aspects of his game.

The likelihood of Mohammed Shami being part of the latter half of the Australia series seems slim. When questioned about Shami’s availability for the important Melbourne Test, captain Rohit Sharma suggested that any updates should come from the NCA, rather than the team.

Rumours of a rift between Shami and Rohit break the internet:
A reported dispute seems to have surfaced between India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, and star fast bowler Mohammed Shami, with claims of a tense exchange between the two during New Zealand’s tour to India. As per Hindustan Times, the disagreement arose from Shami’s displeasure over comments made by Rohit regarding his knee injury.

Shami, who had been sidelined from the Indian squad since the 2023 World Cup final, was nearing the end of his rehabilitation. However, media reports suggesting issues with his recovery did not sit well with him. The comments that triggered the tension were made by Rohit during a press conference, where he confirmed reports about a setback in Shami’s rehabilitation. Shami, however, was upset with how his injury was publicly portrayed.
