3 Teams that can target Mohammed Shami in the IPL 2025 mega auctions

With the IPL 2025 mega auction on the horizon, the cricketing world is abuzz with speculation about player movements. One significant player likely to be in high demand is Mohammed Shami, who has been released by Gujarat Titans after missing the entire 2024 season due to ankle surgery. As he nears full recovery, several franchises are poised to make a move for the experienced pacer.

3 franchises that would invest in Mohammad Shami

Royal Challengers Bangalore: A strategic acquisition

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have long struggled with their bowling attack, often relying heavily on their batting prowess. The departure of key bowlers has left a noticeable gap, making Shami an attractive target. His ability to take wickets in crucial moments and his experience in high-pressure situations could provide the stability RCB needs. After Gujarat Titans releasing him, RCB is prepared to bid aggressively for Shami during the auction. His presence could transform RCB’s bowling lineup and potentially lead them to their first IPL title.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) are another franchise that could benefit significantly from Shami’s return. Having played for PBKS earlier in his career, Shami is already familiar with the team’s dynamics and expectations. The Kings have struggled with their bowling depth in recent seasons, and Shami’s proven track record as a wicket-taker would be invaluable. His ability to swing the new ball and perform well in death overs aligns perfectly with PBKS’s needs. Moreover, bringing back a former player can often reignite passion and performance levels, making him a strategic choice for the franchise.

Chennai Super Kings: Experience meets strategy

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), under the influence of MS Dhoni, have always prioritized experience and tactical acumen. With some aging bowlers in their ranks, acquiring a bowler like Shami could rejuvenate their pace attack. His skills in both powerplay and death overs would complement CSK’s balanced approach to matches. Furthermore, Shami’s leadership qualities could help mentor younger bowlers within the squad, enhancing overall team performance as they look to reclaim their dominance in IPL 2025.

As Shami prepares for his return to competitive cricket following surgery, he is set to become one of the most sought-after players in the upcoming IPL auction. Whether it’s RCB seeking consistency, Punjab Kings aiming for familiarity, or Chennai Super Kings looking for veteran influence, Shami represents a valuable asset capable of making a significant impact on any team’s fortunes in IPL 2025.
