India National Cricket Team fast bowler Mohammed Shami has received a death threat amid the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. As per the reports in Dainik Jagran, it is learned that the fast bowler got the threat through his mail on Sunday (4th April).
The report claimed that Mohammed Shami received a death threat from a person named Rajput Sindhar. The India National Cricket Team fast bowler, however, took quick action as his brother Hasib Ahmed filed an FIR related to the same on Monday (5th April).
Mohammed Shami's brother gave a written application to the Amroha police to launch an investigation
The mail was sent by an individual named Rajput Sindhar, demanding ransom money worth Rs 1 crore from the cricketer. His brother gave a written application to the Amroha police to launch an investigation into the matter. Amroha SP has already registered an FIR and directed the Cyber Cell to probe the matter further.
This comes after the recent terror attack in the Pahalgam region of Jammu and Kashmir. The terrorists opened fire on tourists and killed as many as 28 people. Recently, the India National Cricket Team head coach Gautam Gambhir also received a similar kind of threat.
Mohammed Shami, who is a resident of Amroha, is part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The fast bowler is having a tough season in the league, as he hasn't been able to make the kind of impact that was expected from him.
Mohammed Shami has played 9 games so far for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League
Mohammed Shami has played 9 games so far for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The premier India National Cricket Team pacer has picked just 6 wickets at an average of over 56 and an economy of over 11. His poor performance has also been one of the main reasons behind the team's struggle.
After the ongoing IPL 2025, Mohammed Shami is expected to be part of the India National Cricket Team for the five-match Test series against the England National Cricket Team. The series will also be part of the ICC World Test Championship, and he is expected to play a massive role for the team.

Mohammed Shami recently made his way back to cricket after missing cricket for more than a year. He made his return through the T20I series against England and then played a vital role for the Rohit Sharma-led side in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Shami picked up 9 wickets for the India National Cricket Team at an impressive strike rate of 27.13. He would now be keen to regain his form in the remaining games of the India Premier League (IPL) 2025 and head into the Test series against England on high.
