 "IND vs PAK: Ankle issue resurfaces for Mohammed Shami in India vs Pakistan match")
India received a big blow early on in their high-voltage match against Pakistan as Mohammed Shami walked off the field due to a fitness use. Shami was seen struggling with what appeared as pain in the ankle region and was treated by Team India physio on the pitch. Eventually, he decided to walk off at the end of the fifth over.
The good news for Team India fans, however, is that he returned to the field of play at the start of the eighth over. However, he wasn’t called in to bowl immediately as Hardik Pandya continued.

Shami has been struggling with ankle issues since the 2023 ODI World Cup and was forced to undergo surgery in early 2024. The ankle surgery forced him to sit out of competitive cricket for a year before he made a return to the domestic fold late last year.

However, his return to Team India had been slowed by complaints of pain in the ankle region as he missed the entire Bord-Gavaskar Trophy. Eventually, Shami made a comeback with the T20Is against England in January this year.
Shami took a five-wicket haul in India's first match against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy 2025 which the Men in Blue won by six wickets.
Coming back to the India vs Pakistan match.
Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first, however, they have already lost two wickets and are currently on 52/2 after 10 overs.
