Delhi Capitals (DC)

Indian Premier League (IPL) and homecomings are always a heartwarming story. And this can well be the case. Shami began his IPL career with Delhi Capitals and making a comeback to DC makes sense. The Capitals didn’t retain any pacers and will look for Shami to spearhead their attack.

Furthermore, Shami will be a good candidate in terms of leadership and mentoring the young players. And lastly comes the budget. DC have a budget of 73 crores which can see them fend off bidding attacks from other teams.

Punjab Kings (PBKS)

Punjab Kings head into the IPL 2025 Mega Auction with a budget of 110.5 crores, the highest among all the teams. Also, another homecoming on the cards? Back in 2019 Shami shone brightly for PBKS where he emerged as their highest wicket taker for the season.

Punjab Kings will look for a pacer to lead the charge after the team decided not to retain Arshdeep Singh. While PBKS can cash in on Arshdeep via RTM, but buying Shami makes sense, as it would greatly bolster their attack.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are another team who will be making great strides in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. Pace bowling has been a bit of bother for the side over the last couple of seasons. And this is where Shami can fill in the void and act as the X-Factor in the team.

RCB has a good purse of 83 crores which would be enough to fight with the other teams as well. On the other hand, should RCB use the RTM on Siraj, it will form a formidable pace trio of Shami along with Yash Dayal.
