Mohammed Shami Comeback : Mohammed Shami’s impressive performance in the Ranji Trophy semi-final is a delight to catch the eye of the Indian BCCI selection committee. He delivered one of his career-best performances, taking eight wickets against Jammu and Kashmir. Playing at the Bengal Cricket Academy Ground in Kalyani, Shami demonstrated that his fitness and bowling rhythm are back at their peak.
His bowling style was nothing short of a masterclass. Each ball was accurate, fast, and bounced well. Shami took full advantage of his strengths: straight line and sharp swing. Jammu and Kashmir’s batting line-up was unable to withstand his pressure. Bengal scored 328 runs on the first day, including a brilliant 146 from Sudip Kumar Gharami. This strong score gave Shami and the rest of the senior team the confidence to play aggressively.
Mohammed Shami Comeback Performance
Shami had been out of the team for a long time due to injury and fitness issues. He remained away from international cricket after the 2023 ODI World Cup due to injury. But now he has made a strong comeback in domestic cricket. After taking five wickets against Gujarat and Services in his debut season, this eight-wicket haul is a powerful message for him.

In this match, Shami took early wickets and provided a significant boost to the team in the middle order. Jammu and Kashmir batsmen Abdul Samad (82) and captain Paras Dogra (58) put up some resistance, but Shami halted their rising scores and maintained Bengal’s lead in the match.
After this impressive performance, the Indian team is now eyeing Shami. With several important Test series lined up in 2026, including the England tour, Shami’s fitness and bowling ability make him a great option for the team management. His performance shows that he is fully prepared for five-day Test cricket.
