Mohammed Shami, who came to bowl the fifth over of the Indian innings, suffered from pain in his right leg after 4.4 overs, after which the Indian physio was immediately found on the field examining Shami’s right ankle, due to which the match was halted for some time. After this, Shami also bowled the remaining two balls of his third over at the right place. It seemed that Shami was completely fit and could bowl further, but after the sixth over of the Indian innings, Shami went out of the field due to increasing pain in his ankle.
I have already suffered an ankle injury
Let us tell you that earlier Shami had suffered an ankle injury in the ODI World Cup final, after which he underwent surgery and Shami is making a comeback from the same ankle injury. In such a situation, the problem of ankle pain again has not only increased the problems of the Indian team management but also of the fans because Jasprit Bumrah has already been completely ruled out of this tournament due to a back injury and now if Shami also gets injured, it can have a huge impact on the Indian bowling attack.
Mohammad Siraj can replace
Indian chief selector Ajit Agarkar did not include main fast bowler Mohammed Siraj in the 15-member team for the Champions Trophy, but now he can be sent to Dubai in place of Mohammed Shami because, after Shami’s injury, Siraj is the only bowler left who has a lot of experience of representing India on the big stage. Siraj was dropped due to poor form in the Tests in Australia, but after Shami’s injury, he can return to Team India again. Siraj has played 44 ODIs for India, in which he has taken 71 wickets.
