Shami is going through a bad patch On and Off the field

Indian pace bowlers have made a huge difference in IPL 2018 and Sunrisers Hyderabad showed it how. Delhi Daredevils bought Mohammed Shami for a huge Rs 3 crores in the 2018 auction. He was expected to lead Delhi’s pace attack as he was the only recognized Indian medium pacer in their squad.

However, things went south for the Indian pacer this season. He was involved in an off-field controversy when his wife lodged a police complaint against Shami, accusing him of a series of allegations.

Shami’s personal issues and poor form has cost Delhi Daredevils a great deal. He has played only 4 games this season and picked up three wickets at an economy rate of 10.4. He was not able to regain his best form and taken for runs. Delhi over-reliance on Shami has impacted them a lot this season and resulted in their elimination.
