Indore, November 30, 2024: India’s fast bowler Mohammed Shami narrowly escaped a serious injury during a domestic match for Madhya Pradesh (MP) against Bengal. The incident occurred in the penultimate over of the innings when Shami attempted to stop a ball but fell awkwardly, causing discomfort in his lower back. The fall raised concerns, particularly as Shami had been recovering from a previous injury layoff.
Medical staff, including Nitin Patel from the Centre of Excellence, quickly attended to Shami on the field. The pacer was examined immediately, and after a thorough check, it was confirmed that the injury was not severe. Shami was able to resume play, much to the relief of his team and fans.
This scare comes as Shami, who has been a key player for India, was hoping to regain full fitness and form ahead of upcoming international commitments. His recovery and continued participation in the game are seen as a positive sign for both his personal performance and India’s pace attack.
