In a big blow to India, star seamer Mohammed Shami has walked off the field with injury in the Champions Trophy match against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium in UAE. The right-arm seamer, who is leading  India's pace battery, took a fifer in the first match. 

The injury occurred in the 5th over of the match, which was Shami's 3rd over. After bowling the 4th ball of the match, when Shami signalled to the physio and had trouble in his right-leg. Despite receiving the treatment, Mohammed Shami completed his over.

However, the visuals showed Shami leaving the field for medical attention. The Indian fans are worried about the situation as the Men in Blue are already without Jasprit Bumrah. 

Mohammed Shami's Struggle With Injury Continues

After the 2023 World Cup 2023, Shami missed the entire 2024 with a knee injury and ankle injury. Firstly, he had suffered an ankle injury and it led to discomfort in knee as well. India would now have to look as to how to utilise Shami in the remainder of the match. 

The Men in Blue have plenty of options in the tank as they can utilise Hardik Pandya to bowl out his quota of 10 overs. Talking about the match, at the time of writing this article, Pakistan have lost another wicket as Imam-Ul-Haq was sent packing with a bullet throw from Axar Patel. Further, Pakistan are 47/2 after 9.2 overs and struggling at the moment.
