Muslim Shami May Not Retain: Another ambitious prediction on Mohammad Shami’s destiny in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been made by former Indian cricket Aakash Goswami. Mohammed has not played is a major cricket match since the ODI World Cup final of the year before. He received surgery for a foot issue in February this year.
The senior pacer to India is aiming to recover in time for the Border Gavaskar Trophy, which is expected to start in the second week of November.
Chopra thinks that Shami’s IPL career may suffer a a result of his injury problems. The speedster won the shade of purple cap for the Gujarat Titans last season with 28 wickets. Ahead to the huge auction, the team has yet to say which players they will keep.
Under the new regulations, a team may keep a maximum of six players, including both retention and RTM options.
Shami’s past fitness record might prevent GT from considering keeping him, according to Chopra.
Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, and Sai Sudharsan ought to be the former Indian Premier League winners’ top priorities, according to the cricketer-turned-pundit.
“The first is a simple retention in which you must hold onto Shubman Gill. The second choice—Rashid Khan—is obvious. You ought to keep him on as well. Sai Sudharsan, in my opinion, is the third player they ought to keep. While talking about the subject on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra stated, “If Sai Sudharsan goes to the market, he will take 8 to 10 crores for sure, and you will be able to retain him for 11 crores.”
Chopra believes that because of Shami’s age, GT might not be willing to pay a high price for her. Alternatively, they could let go of the 34-year-old before the big sale and sign him again for around Rs 6-8 crore.
“They don’t have another player, whether it be David Miller, Mohammed Shami, Kane Williamson, or any other name, who is worth 18 crores and who will be sold for 18 crores if you release them. Because of injury worries, I believe this squad may decide not to keep Shami,” Chopra said.
