Mohammed Shami, who won the Purple Cap in IPL 2023 with 28 wickets, has struggled in IPL 2025. Playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Shami has only taken six wickets in nine innings. Despite being purchased for ₹10 crore in the previous season’s auction, Shami has failed to live up to expectations due to fitness issues and poor form. SRH head coach Daniel Vettori defended Shami’s fitness, stating that the pacer has been training hard but has not been able to find his rhythm this season. Shami also holds the record for conceding the most runs by an Indian bowler in IPL history, with 74 runs being scored off his four overs against Punjab Kings. With SRH on the verge of elimination, Shami will be looking to end the season on a positive note. The team faces Delhi Capitals in their next match, needing a series of victories and favorable results from other games to stay in contention.
