The IPL 2025 mega auction saw veteran pacer Mohammed Shami attract significant interest from multiple franchises. With a base price of ₹2 crore, the bidding started with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and quickly escalated as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) joined the fray.
As the auction heated up, Lucknow Super Giants entered the contest, followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Shami, known for his ability to deliver with the new ball and at the death, saw his value rise rapidly as teams battled for his services.
Ultimately, Sunrisers Hyderabad won the bidding war, securing Shami for ₹10 crore. His addition bolsters SRH’s bowling unit with both experience and skill, making him a key asset for their campaign in IPL 2025.
