Mohammed Shami Bought By Sunrisers Hyderabad For INR 10 crore at IPL Auction 2025

India star Mohammed Shami has registered himself for the IPL 2025 mega auction at a base price of INR 2 crore. The right-arm pacer has not played any international game since November 2023 due to an ankle injury but is likely to earn a lucrative contract in the auction.

He made his much-awaited return to competitive cricket this month through the Ranji Trophy. In his comeback game, Shami picked up 7 wickets against Madhya Pradesh while playing for Bengal.

In the IPL, Shami played for Gujarat Titans in 2022 and 2023 before missing the 2024 season. In 2022, he picked up 20 wickets before taking 28 wickets in 2023. Apart from the Titans, Shami has also plied his trade for Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals, and Punjab Kings in the IPL.
