India’s premier fast bowler, Mohammed Shami, recently posted a picture on social media of his newly acquired Jaguar car. However, his post received mixed reactions from fans. While many congratulated him on the purchase, others reminded him to be cautious on the road, citing the recent accident involving Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant.
Due to fitness concerns, Indian bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the tour. This puts additional responsibilities on the shoulders of Shami and other young seamers. The Indian cricket team has a packed schedule for the upcoming year, including the World Test Championship, Asia Cup, and the ODI World Cup.
In his latest post, Shami wrote, “Some journeys need no roads, only willing hearts.” Fans reacted positively to the post but also reminded him to drive carefully, citing Rishabh Pant’s accident. Pant, who suffered a fatal car crash while returning home for New Year, recently underwent successful surgery for a severe ligament tear in his knee but is most likely to miss the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, IPL, Asia Cup, and ODI World Cup.
Fans were quick to remind Shami of the tragic incident involving Rishabh Pant, where he had a car accident. This brought up the concern about safety for cricketers, who are often seen in fast cars or luxury vehicles. Many urged them to drive safely and be cautious so that such incidents can be avoided in the future.
