IPL 2025 - Mohammad Shami Vs KKR
KKR vs SRH Clash at Eden Gardens – SRH Coach Backs Mohammed Shami to Regain Form
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 continues with an exciting clash as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 15 at the iconic Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on Thursday, April 3. Both teams are eager to gain momentum in this high-stakes encounter.
SRH Coach Ryan Cook Confident in Mohammed Shami’s Comeback
Ahead of the match, SRH assistant coach Ryan Cook addressed concerns regarding Mohammed Shami’s current form. The 34-year-old pacer has struggled this season, managing just two wickets in three matches with an economy rate of 11.22 and an average of 50.50. However, Cook remains optimistic about Shami’s ability to bounce back.
"Mohammed Shami is an excellent bowler who has proved himself over many years. The pitch at Eden Gardens will suit him, as a good length is exactly what’s needed here. We are looking forward to watching him bowl tomorrow," Cook stated in the pre-match press conference.
Mohammed Shami’s IPL Journey & SRH’s Investment
Shami was a key player for Gujarat Titans (GT) in IPL 2023, playing 17 matches and securing 28 wickets at an economy of 8.03. His stellar performance earned him the Purple Cap in IPL 2024, but he was forced to miss the season due to a knee injury.
Ahead of the IPL 2025 Mega-Auction, Gujarat Titans opted not to retain Shami, leading to an intense bidding war. Ultimately, Sunrisers Hyderabad signed the veteran pacer for ₹6.25 crore, hoping he would add strength to their bowling attack.
SRH’s Struggles in IPL 2025 So Far
Currently, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) sit in 8th place on the IPL 2025 points table, with just two points and a net run rate of -0.871. While SRH started the season with a victory, they have since suffered two consecutive defeats, making the upcoming match against KKR crucial for their campaign.
With Eden Gardens offering a pace-friendly pitch, all eyes will be on Mohammed Shami as he looks to rediscover his form and help SRH get back on track.
