This recent surgery is anticipated to sideline Shami for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has delivered a crucial update to his fans, sharing that he successfully underwent surgery on his Achilles tendon. Using the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the cricket star conveyed optimism about his recovery journey, recognizing that it will require some time. Shami’s absence from the home T20I series against Australia, the South Africa tour, and the ongoing Test series against England has been attributed to his Achilles tendon issues.
The 33-year-old, who last participated for India in the ODI World Cup final against Australia in November, emerged as the tournament’s highest wicket-taker, securing an impressive 24 wickets in just 7 matches. Despite grappling with landing issues throughout the campaign, Shami showcased remarkable resilience and dedication on the field.

Regrettably, this recent surgery is anticipated to sideline Shami for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The setback is particularly impactful for the Gujarat Titans, where Shami has played a pivotal role in leading the pace attack. He made significant contributions in the preceding IPL seasons, amassing 20 wickets in 2022 and an impressive 28 wickets in 2023 with an average of 18.64. Shami’s absence is expected to influence the team’s strategy and performance in the forthcoming IPL season.
Mohammed Shami is likely to get ready to play the all-important T20 World Cup which is right after the Indian Premier League 2024. It will be interesting to see how teams react to playing in USA conditions. India will have one eye on the trophy and will be hoping to enter the tournament with a full-strength team.
