Mohammed Shami, the star Indian pacer has been bought by SRH for 10 Crore. The right-arm fast bowler was one of the marquee players and recently made his comeback into competitive cricket after an injury layoff of almost one year.
He also missed the last season due to injury, but remains a quality bowler with a genuine wicket-taking abilities and it has helped him gain attention from the franchises once again. Shami can make impact both with the new-ball and at the death, but he has been most impressive in the Powerplay in IPL, and we can expect SRH to use him in the same role in the upcoming season.
