Mohammed Shami of Sunrisers Hyderabad has received a death threat via email following a subpar showing in the IPL 2025. Haseeb Ahmed, Mohammed Shami brother, learnt of the threat when he accessed his email since the star pacer was preoccupied with his IPL 2025 campaign. The SRH pacer was threatened with death if he didn’t pay the INR 1 lakh requested.
Ahmed reported the threat to the Amroha police station by filing a formal complaint, according to the Times of India. It was reported that Rajput Sindhar was the email user. In the communication, Prabhakar’s name was included beside his. Amit Kumar Anand, the SP for Amroha, was made aware of the danger and asked to act seriously right away.
Ahmed has sent Sindhar’s email as evidence of the threat. The matter has been forwarded to the Cyber Cell Investigation Department’s crime branch. Ahmed asserted that the lawsuit is subject to all necessary provisions. Mohammed Shami brother has been informed by the police that an investigation will be conducted shortly in order to settle the situation.
Mohammed Shami subpar IPL 2025 performance
The bowler, who is from Uttar Pradesh, has not performed well in the IPL 2025 thus far. One of the main causes of SRH’s defeat in the 18th league edition was the right-arm pacer’s inefficiency. The right-arm bowler has only claimed six wickets in nine innings at a dismal average of 56.17, a strike rate of 30.00, and an economy rate of 11.23.
The Bengali cricketer’s season has been the worst in IPL history. The right-arm bowler gave up 75 runs in his 4 overs against the Punjab Kings, the second-most costly period in league history. Additionally, it is the most costly spell an Indian bowler has ever used.
Mohammed Shami decline from 2019 to 2023, when he was among the top bowlers with the new ball, has been widely reported. Shami’s IPL 2025 struggles have been attributed to injuries and a lack of rhythm. His 2/28 versus GT was his best run of the season.
