With ball in hand and obsession in heart Mohammed Shami gears up for comeback

Mohammed Shami, the experienced Indian pacer, has “ball in his hand and obsession in his heart” as he gears up for his comeback to international cricket. Mohammed Shami gears up for comeback, signalling his determination and dedication to re-establishing himself in the international cricket arena. In the caption, Shami made it abundantly evident that he is working hard to make a strong return in order to “turn the game” for India. Shami shared a photo of himself working hard in the nets, accompanied by the caption: “Ready to make a move, with the ball in my hand and a fixation in my heart. #mdshami #mdshami11 #shami #mdshami.”

Shami last participated in a competitive cricket match in November, when India fell to Australia in the Ahmedabad final of the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup. With his speed and swing, Shami dazzled both cricket fans and analysts, claiming 24 wickets in only seven games at an average of 10.70 and an economy rate of 5.26. He also claimed three five-wicket hauls and a four-wicket haul. It was a tournament to remember. In the semifinal matchup with New Zealand, he had the best results (7/57).

In that event, Shami endured agony, but he didn’t let it stop him from doing well. Both the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan in January and the visit to South Africa that followed the competition were missed by him.

After recovering well from an Achilles tendon injury sustained in February, he was unable to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with the Gujarat Titans (GT) or the ICC T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA, which India won after defeating South Africa in the championship match.

With 448 wickets in 188 international matches—11 of which had five-wicket stands—Shami is regarded as one of the best pacers of the contemporary era.
