      Injuries tested me, SRH changed my perspective: Mohammed Shami on comeback and IPL journey

      “In 2023, I faced a sudden breakdown, so I deliberately chose to play as many domestic games as I could—around 12 or 13 in total,” Shami said. “That experience, combined with the England series, played a key role in restoring my confidence. As for performance, I’ve always committed to giving my absolute best,” he added.
