Historic Milestone for Mohammed Shami
Mohammed Shami etched his name in IPL history during the 2026 clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals. The veteran pacer dismissed KL Rahul on the very first ball, marking his fifth first-ball wicket in the league—an all-time record.
Record Comes in a Losing Cause
Despite Shami’s early breakthrough, Lucknow Super Giants failed to defend a modest total of 141 runs. Delhi Capitals chased down the target comfortably, winning the match by six wickets in just over 17 overs.
Rizvi and Stubbs Seal the Game
Young batter Sameer Rizvi played a match-winning unbeaten 70, supported by Tristan Stubbs. The duo stitched a crucial partnership after early setbacks, ensuring a strong start to Delhi’s campaign.
