Mohammed Shami IPL 2025

Mohammed Shami, India’s top pacer, has not been retained by the Gujarat Titans and will be available at the IPL Auction 2025.  

As the IPL 2025 mega auction is scheduled for November 24-25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Mohammad Shami will be in the eyes of all teams. 

The Indian fast bowler has made a significant impact in T20 cricket and is expected to attract considerable interest from various franchises. 

Here are three teams that are likely to bid for Shami during the auction:

1. Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings have one of the largest budgets heading into the auction, with ₹110.5 crore available.

Punjab Kings have historically invested in strong bowling options and could see Shami as a key addition to their squad. 

His experience and skill set would provide a much-needed edge to their bowling attack, especially in the death overs. 

With Shami being a local player from Punjab, his return to the franchise could resonate well with fans and strengthen team dynamics.

2. Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians have a remaining purse of ₹45 crore after their recent retentions.

Known for their strategic purchases, Mumbai Indians might look to bolster their bowling lineup with Shami’s inclusion. 

Despite having a talented roster, the team has faced challenges in their bowling department in recent seasons. 

Shami’s ability to take wickets at crucial moments and his experience in high-pressure situations make him an attractive target for the franchise.

3. Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders have ₹51 crore left in their budget for the auction.

KKR has a history of investing in quality bowlers, and Mohammad Shami fits that mold perfectly. 

With their current squad needing reinforcement in pace bowling, Shami could provide both experience and skill. 

His familiarity with Indian pitches and conditions would be beneficial for KKR as they aim to reclaim their status as title contenders.
