In today’s Champions Trophy 2025 encounter against Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium India pacer Mohammed Shami got off to a shaky start with the first over of the innings. After India was ordered to field. The 34-year-old Shami grabbed the new ball and hit Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam, the openers for Pakistan, with 11 deliveries in the first over.

Shami’s over is the second-longest in the history of the Champions Trophy and the longest by an Indian. Interestingly, Shami’s 11-ball over beat Jasprit Bumrah’s nine-ball over during their most recent encounter which took place during the 2017 Champions Trophy final at the Oval against Pakistan.

In between pain from the heat in Dubai, Shami bowled four wides in the over before returning to the dugout for a change of shoes. Shami was seen in pain on his ankle/calf area when he returned to bowl his third over, and the physio ran out to take a look. When Pakistan reached 25 for no loss after five overs, Shami went off the field and into the changing room after giving up just three runs in the over.
