Mohammed Shami, who has announced his comeback in the Ranji Trophy for Bengal, has also proved that he is not shying away from deliverling verbal bouncers off field, as he did to Sanjay Manjrekar. With the 2025 IPL Auction knocking the door, Manjrekar-like critics and commentators have been busy predicting prices for each player, and so was for the fast bowler Mohammed Shami. Shami, with his witty nature, sarcastically marked Manjrekar as "Baba ji," urging others to visit him if they need any help with future predictions. Shami posted an image on his Instagram story featuring Manjrekar’s prediction along with a witty caption. The story read: "Baba ki jay hooooo 🙏🙏🙏Thodsa gyan apne future k liye bhi bacha loo kaam aayega Sanjay G? Kisi ko future janna ho to sir se mile 🔥🔥🔥."

If a franchise invests heavily and then loses him mid-season, their options become limited. This concern might lead to a drop in his price tag." Shami's comeback Mohammed Shami, who has been the leading bowler in the 2023 World Cup, was sidelined due to his ankle injury. However, after the surgery, his knee issues showed up during rehabilitation, for which he could take part in the three-match home Test series against New Zealand.
