The Rajasthan Royals franchise is in advanced talks to acquire Indian pacer Mohammed Shami for the 2027 IPL season, sources said.
Rajasthan Royals have entered detailed discussions with the management of Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami regarding a potential contract for the 2027 Indian Premier League. The franchise, which is looking to strengthen its pace attack, views Shami’s experience and recent form as a valuable addition to its squad.
Sources close to the negotiations indicated that both parties are evaluating the financial terms and the role Shami would play in the team’s strategy. While no official announcement has been made, the talks are reportedly at an advanced stage.
The move comes as RR seeks to rebuild after a mixed performance in recent seasons, aiming to blend seasoned internationals with emerging talent. If finalized, Shami would become one of the senior Indian bowlers in the side, potentially mentoring younger pacers.
The franchise has not disclosed a timeline for a formal offer, but expects to conclude discussions well before the IPL auction window opens later this year.
