Mohammed Shami on Thursday took to social media to ridicule former player and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar's suggestion that the Indian pacer will not attract a higher price in the upcoming mega auction of the Indian Premier League. Shami, who has taken 127 wickets in 110 IPL matches since his debut in 2013, made a comeback to competitive cricket recently after spending nearly a year's time away due to an ankle injury for which he had undergone surgery.

Thoda sa gyan apne futue ke liye bhi bacha lo kaam ayeaga Sanjy G. Kisi ko futue janna ho to sir se mile (All hail baba ji. Please save some wisdom for the future as well Sanjay G. If anyone wants to know about their future please meet Sir)," Shami wrote on Instagram.
