Rohit Sharma Backs Mohammed Shami's Return Ahead of Champions Trophy Match

India captain Rohit Sharma has expressed confidence in Mohammed Shami's fitness and form ahead of their Champions Trophy 2025 opener against Bangladesh in Dubai. Shami, who recently returned to international cricket after a 14-month injury layoff, is set to lead India's pace attack in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. Sharma stated, "Whatever I have seen of him so far is perfect, fine. He has done the job for us over the years. Hopefully, he can find some rhythm in this tournament". Shami himself revealed the challenges he faced during his recovery, saying there were times he doubted if he'd ever play for India again.
