Shami Stars in LSG’s Victory Over SRH
On April 5, 2026, Mohammed Shami, the fast bowler for Lucknow Super Giants, delivered an outstanding performance against his former team, SunRisers Hyderabad. Shami’s bowling left SRH struggling at just 22 runs for three wickets during the crucial powerplay overs.
He dismissed both openers, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, setting an early tone and helping LSG dominate in their second match of the season. With impressive figures of 4 overs, 9 runs, and 2 wickets, Shami’s performance was one of the best seen in the IPL.
Shami’s fierce bowling quickly caught the attention of fans on social media, who praised the veteran pacer. Many expressed their surprise at his absence from the Indian national team for more than a year, questioning the decisions of India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, and chief selector, Ajit Agarkar.
Shami’s last appearance for India was during the Champions Trophy, where he played a key role in the pace attack. He has continued to shine in domestic cricket, taking 37 wickets in the Ranji Trophy season, including an impressive 8-wicket haul in the semi-final against Jammu and Kashmir.
Despite his remarkable efforts, Bengal could not secure a win as their batting lineup struggled against Auqib Nabi, who took 9 wickets in the match.
As the IPL season progresses, fans remain hopeful to see more of Shami’s talents on the international stage.
