Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has once again backed Mohammed Shami’s return to the national team. He stated that the pacer should be playing alongside Jasprit Bumrah. According to him, Shami remains one of India’s finest bowlers.
Mohammed Shami has been making a strong case for his comeback. He is performing well in domestic cricket and delivering consistently in the IPL for Lucknow Super Giants. His wicket taking form has remained impressive throughout.
Recently, Mohammed Shami delivered a tight spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He conceded just 9 runs and picked up 2 wickets. This performance once again highlighted his quality and control with the ball.
Speaking about Shami’s place in the team, Ganguly made a strong statement. He said Shami should be bowling at the other end of Bumrah. He added that Shami’s ability makes him an automatic choice.
The numbers support his claim. Mohammed Shami picked up 67 wickets across domestic tournaments this season. He has carried the same form into the IPL, maintaining consistency.
Despite these performances, selectors continue to overlook him citing fitness concerns. This decision has raised several questions among fans and experts. Many believe his current form deserves recognition.
Social media has seen strong reactions from cricket followers. A common opinion is that if Shami is fit enough to play regularly, he should be part of the Indian team. The debate continues to grow.
Some fans have even argued that Mohammed Shami is ahead of bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh based on recent form. These comparisons have added more intensity to the discussion.
The message from fans is clear that Mohammed Shami has done his part. Now, attention shifts to the selectors and their decision making. The pressure is steadily increasing.
With strong performances in domestic cricket and IPL, expectations are rising. The key question remains whether selectors will respond soon. Otherwise, the debate around his exclusion is likely to continue.
