Mohammad Shami provided a dream start for Lucknow Super Giants of their IPL 2026 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad on the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, April 5. The experienced pacer struck twice in quick succession, removing Abhishek Sharma for a silver duck and Travis Head (7 off 8), leaving his former side struggling at 8\/2 inside three overs.<\/span><\/p>\n Shami dismissed Abhishek off the ultimate ball of the primary over, bowling a slower delivery outside off. The left-hander went for an aggressive drive but only managed a thick edge, which flew to short third where Manimaran Siddharth pulled off a pointy diving catch.<\/span><\/p>\n In his very next over, Shami struck again to remove Head. He bowled a short-of-a-length delivery on off stump with a scrambled seam at 121 kmph. Head attempted to push at it but lost control, sending a soft shot towards mid-off, where Aiden Markram dived forward to finish a low catch.<\/span><\/p>\n Watch the dismissals here:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 ABHISHEK SHARMA: PURE FRAUD OR WHAT? \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n \u2014 7 Geese in 15 innings!
