Shami's Extreme Diet Revelation: One Meal a Day Fuels India's Bowling Powerhouse

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has stunned fans with his remarkable fitness regime, revealing he consumes just one meal a day. The 34-year-old pacer, who recently made a triumphant return to international cricket in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, shared insights into his strict dietary habits. "After 2015, I only have one meal a day. I only have dinner; no breakfast, no lunch," Shami disclosed in a conversation with Navjot Singh Sidhu. This extreme approach helped Shami shed 9 kg during his rehabilitation from an ankle injury that sidelined him for 14 months. The bowler admitted his weight had reached 90 kg during recovery but emphasized his ability to avoid cravings for sweets and other delicacies. Shami's discipline has paid off, as he claimed a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh in India's tournament opener.
