[Saba Sports News] Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent best wishes to fast bowler Mohammed Shamifollowing his Achilles tendon surgery in London on February 26, showing confidence in Shami’s resilience.
“Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health, @MdShami11! I’m confident you’ll overcome this injury with the courage that is so integral to you,” PM posted on ‘X’.

Modi’s encouragement reflects his belief in Shami’s strength and determination to return to cricket.
