Mohamed Shami Sanjay Manjrekar was not happy to see him mocking the possibility of extracting the highest bid in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction. Shami remains one of the most popular pacers in India, but Manjrekar slammed Manjrekar after he predicted a drop in pacer prices in the IPL auction. Manjrekar said there is no doubt that many teams will participate in the auction after Shami, but if the pacer fetches more than Rs 6.25 crore, like what Gujarat Titans got in the 2022 IPL auction. I haven’t thought about it.
“There will definitely be interest from teams, but given Shami’s injury history – and this injury took quite a while to recover from – there is always a concern that he could break down during the season. ” Sanjay Manjrekar said on Star Sports.
“If a franchise makes a huge investment and loses him in the middle of the season, their options are limited. This concern could lead to a drop in his price.”
”Hail Baba, hooooooo. A little bit of knowledge you’ve gathered for your feet will also come in handy. Sanjy G. If you want to know someone’s feet, you will meet their head. (Please save some wisdom for your future. If you want to know your future, please contact ‘Baba Ji’),” Shami wrote on his Instagram Story. He mocked Manjrekar.
