Mohammed Shami’s sharp response to Sanjay Manjrekar’s IPL auction prediction has created quite a buzz. Manjrekar, while discussing Shami’s potential in the IPL 2025 auction on Star Sports, suggested that his injury history could affect his bidding price. Shami, however, hit back with a sarcastic Instagram story, calling Manjrekar a “baba” who could predict the future, advising him to save some of that knowledge for himself.

Shami, who was released by Gujarat Titans after missing the entire IPL 2024 season due to injury, recently made a strong comeback in the Ranji Trophy. The pacer, who was the highest wicket-taker in IPL 2023, reminded everyone of his capability by claiming 4/54 for Bengal.
Manjrekar’s comments about teams potentially being wary of Shami’s injury history due to the risk of mid-season breakdowns have sparked mixed reactions. Shami’s fans, however, have rallied behind him, celebrating his humor and recent performance.
With the IPL 2025 auction approaching, it remains to be seen how franchises evaluate Shami’s form and fitness.
