Shami, who took 24 wickets in India's spectacular World Cup campaign, played with agony due to landing issues but did not allow it to hinder his performance.
Shami has been ruled out of the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League. This is a huge blow for Gujrat Titans as the right-armer was the lead pacer for the side. He played a key role in GT's success in both seasons.
The 33-year-old bowler picked up 20 wickets in 2022 and followed it up with an even stronger performance in IPL 2023, taking 28 wickets at an average of 18.64. Shami was especially devastating with the new ball.
