Mohammed Shami in Ranji Trophy: Indian team's star fast bowler Mohammed Shami, who is recovering from a knee injury, has made a comeback on the field with a bang. Shami gave a masterclass performance for Bengal by taking four wickets in the first innings of the Ranji Trophy Elite Group C match against Madhya Pradesh. Shami played a match after a long time and showed in the very first match that he still has a lot of cricket left in him.

Against Madhya Pradesh, Shami bowled 19 overs and took 4 wickets for 54 runs at an economy of 2.80. Like before, Shami bowled at excellent pace and also achieved tremendous swing. Shami destroyed Madhya Pradesh's batting lineup with balls spinning on both sides of the wicket. Apart from Madhya Pradesh captain Shubham Sharma, Shami sent important players like Saransh Jain and Kumar Karthikeya back to the pavilion.

Bengal's first innings in the match was reduced to only 228. But in front of Shami's sharp bowling, Madhya Pradesh team disintegrated at only 167. Apart from Shami, Suraj Sindhu and Mohammad Kaif took 2-2 wickets for Bengal. Rohit Kumar got 1 success.

Shami bowling at full capacity again on the field is also a good sign for the Indian team. However, Shami could not make a place in the team for the Australia tour and now Team India will have to take the field without him in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Shami's speed and swing could have been the X factor for the Indian team on Australian pitches. However, if Shami still proves his form and fitness in Ranji matches, then there is a possibility of his selection for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The first match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Perth from 22nd November. The Indian team has also reached Australia for this tour. After the crushing defeat in the home series against New Zealand, there is pressure on Indian captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir to perform well in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, 2024. The results of this series will decide whether Team India makes it to the final of the ICC World Test Championship or not.
