Aakash Chopra said that Mohammed Shami is currently not at the peak of his powers, and he has not looked at his very best even in the matches where he has picked up wickets for India.
He is regarded as one of the best pacers to emerge from India, and over the years, he has shown sheer dominance with the ball across all formats.
However, he suffered a significant ankle injury during the 2023 ODI World Cup, which he managed through injections while playing, but eventually required surgery after the tournament ended.
After that, he participated in IPL 2025, where he had a horrible campaign with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Shami was ignored for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and Asia Cup 2025, and in the recent Duleep Trophy fixture, he registered figures of 1/136 in 34 overs across two innings.
The full throttle Mohammad Shami wasn't seen in the IPL - Aakash Chopra
"I think Mohammad Shami has also said, 'What's your problem with me?' Some people want him to retire. I don't know who those people are, but he doesn't want to retire and wants to play. He is saying that he is fit, available, and playing, and if he is playing, he should be selected. It's a fair argument.
At this point in time, it doesn't seem like they are convinced - Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra further said that Mohammed Shami is paying the price for his own success, and he can only get back to the scheme of things across formats if he manages to convince the BCCI selection committee and team management that he can bowl with full force. He elaborated:
"Wickets will never be a parameter for Shami. For Shami, it would be about the rhythm he is running with, if the run-up is with the full throttle and the ball is going the same way. If that's happening, he can be back, but the selectors, team management, and captain will have to be convinced. At this point in time, it doesn't seem like they are convinced, and that is the reality."
