"Bhai ki tension mat lo" - Sonu Sood reacts as Mohammed Shami is stuck at airport
Team India speedster Mohammed Shami has begun training for his much-awaited return to the cricket field. The veteran bowler has remained on the sidelines since the 2023 ODI World Cup and underwent an Achilles Tendon surgery earlier this year.
Shami traveled somewhere but was stuck at the airport due to a delayed flight. Taking to his official Instagram account on Saturday, September 14, the cricket star shared pictures of him waiting for his flight.
Calling the airport as his temporary home, he captioned the post:
"Delayed. Again ✈️ The airport is my temporary home 🏠 🙈🙈."
Popular Indian actor Sonu Sood commented on Mohammed Shami's post mentioned above. He asked the fans not to worry about the pacer, suggesting he enjoyed a nap amid the delay.
Sood wrote:
"Aby bhai ki tension mat lo bhai He’s sleeping like always 😂."
Mohammed Shami had a fantastic 2023 ODI World Cup. The 34-year-old finished as the leading wicket-taker of the edition, bagging 24 wickets from just seven outings.
"Sonu Sood helped us" - When Mohammed Shami's friend opened up about the Bollywood actor helping him for a noble cause during COVID-19 lockdown
During his appearance on journalist Shubhankar Mishra's podcast, Mohammed Shami's close friend Umesh Kumar claimed his fast-bowling partner helped many laborers stuck in Amroha reach their homes during the COVID-19 lockdown.
He mentioned that they received help from Sonu Sood for the noble cause. Speaking about how Shami booked an entire train for the laborers, Umesh said:
"There are many kilns in Amroha and all the labourers there are from Bihar. Shami booked a whole train for 3000 people. We personally went to every bogie and gave them tiffins. Trains also came from Mumbai, which we used to book. Sonu Sood helped us with that there. Shami and I received those people here and made them sit in air-conditioned buses."
Shami could make his cricketing return with the upcoming Ranji Trophy 2024. According to PTI, he could feature in Bengal's opening match of the season against Uttar Pradesh, beginning October 11.
