Mohammed Shami got angry about getting less money in IPL 2025 and publicly made fun of this talkative veteran.
The mega auction of IPL 2025 is about to start. Before that, big cricket pundits are giving their views about the future of the players and the amount they will get. A similar prediction was also made about Mohammad Shami. The outspoken former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar predicted that Shami would get less money in the mega auction of IPL 2025. But Shami did not like Manjrekar's prediction and he made fun of him publicly.
Shami made fun of Manjrekar!
Shami posted an Insta story and wrote on Sanjay Manjrekar's low salary - Babaji ki Jai Ho. Shami did not stop here. This was just the beginning. He also gave advice to Manjrekar. Shami wrote that save some knowledge for your future too, will it be useful Sanjay ji?
While mocking Sanjay Manjrekar's words, Shami also wrote something for his fans. He said that if anyone wants to know about their future, they should meet Sir.
What did Manjrekar say about Shami?
It is clear from the words of the Indian speedster that he is hurt by whatever Sanjay Manjrekar has said about him. The former India opener had said that he estimates that there may be a drop in the amount Shami gets in IPL 2025. Shami's fitness may be one of the main reasons behind Manjrekar saying this.
Shami's fitness is a big question.
Due to his fitness, Shami has been away from Team India for more than a year. However, he has now overcome his injury and returned to the cricket field. Shami has not been able to make a comeback in the Indian team yet, but his prowess has started to show in domestic cricket. He took 4 wickets in the first match he played after returning from injury.
Gujarat Titans bought Shami for Rs 6.25 crore.
Shami was part of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024. In IPL 2022, he became a part of Gujarat for Rs 6.25 crore. He took 48 wickets in 33 matches for Gujarat. During this, he also won the Purple Cap with 28 wickets in 17 matches in IPL 2023. However, even after this performance, Gujarat did not retain him for IPL 2025.
