Sun Nov 24 11:55:28 UTC 2024: ## Indian Pacer Shami Claps Back at Commentator’s IPL Auction Prediction
**New Delhi:** Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has responded with sarcasm to commentator Sanjay Manjrekar’s prediction that Shami might fetch a lower price at the upcoming IPL mega auction.
Manjrekar, citing Shami’s age (34) and injury history, suggested that franchises might be hesitant to bid aggressively, fearing the risk of another injury impacting his availability throughout the season. He stated that a high price tag would be risky given the potential for a reduced contribution.
Shami, who was released by Gujarat Titans, took to Instagram to retort to Manjrekar’s assessment. His witty reply, roughly translated, advised Manjrekar to “save some wisdom for the future” and suggested consulting a higher power if he needed to predict the future.
Shami’s availability at the auction has generated considerable interest, and Manjrekar’s comments highlight the potential uncertainties surrounding the player’s value in the upcoming bidding process.
