Save some knowledge for your future too: Shami hits back at Sanjay Manjrekar for IPL auction predict
New Delhi: Indian pacer Mohammed Shami responded sharply to former cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar's prediction regarding his price tag at the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. Manjrekar had suggested that Shami, who was released by Gujarat Titans ahead of the auction, may see a decline in his auction value due to his injury history.
The 34-year-old, who returned to competitive cricket last week after a year-long recovery from knee injuries, was the subject of analysis by Manjrekar, who raised concerns about the bowler's injury-prone nature.
“There will definitely be interest from teams, but given Shami’s injury history—and this recent one took a significant amount of time to recover—there’s always a concern about a potential breakdown during the season. If a franchise invests heavily and then loses him mid-season, their options become limited. This concern might lead to a drop in his price tag,” Manjrekar said on Star Sports.
In response, Shami took to Instagram on Thursday, addressing Manjrekar’s comments. "Baba ki jay hoooo. Thoda sa gyan apne future ke liye bhi bacha loo kaam aayega Sanjay G? Kisi ko future janna ho to sir se mile," Shami posted, which loosely translates to, "Hail Baba. Save some knowledge for your future too, it will be useful Sanjay ji. If anyone wants to know the future, they should meet sir."
Shami, acquired by Gujarat Titans for Rs 6.25 crore in the 2022, had a standout 2023 season, claiming 28 wickets in 17 matches at an average of 18.64 and winning the Purple Cap.

Mudigere: 22-yr-old youngster hangs herself to death after father scolds her for not making curry
Mudigere: A 22-year-old young woman, Soujanya Poojary, who was upset over an apparently trivial issue, has allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at home in Devavrinda village of the taluk on Saturday evening.
On Saturday morning, Soujanya’s father Natesh Poojary handed her vegetables, instructed her to prepare curry using them and went out. When he returned home in the afternoon, however, he found that his daughter had not prepared the curry and scolded her. He also told her to get curry from a neighbour’s house and again went out.
Soujanya, after being treated harshly by her father, reportedly closed the door of the house and hanged herself to death inside.
Gonibeedu Police officers, who were informed of her death, have registered a case and are investigating.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
