In a recent IPL match, Mohammed Shami's debut for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) was marked by a historic achievement as he became the first bowler to claim five first-ball wickets. Former Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara noted Shami’s impressive start, despite LSG's six-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals (DC). Shami's figures of 1 for 28 included the crucial wicket of K L Rahul on the first ball of the run chase. Pujara commended Shami for his tight bowling and ability to restrict runs, reflecting his strong form after a successful domestic season where he took 67 wickets. Additionally, Pujara praised DC's Sameer Rizvi for his unbeaten half-century, which was pivotal in their victory. He also acknowledged Kuldeep Yadav's impressive bowling performance, attributing it to his increased confidence over the past two years. Pujara suggested that Rizvi should be favored over other players for future matches, indicating the strategic depth of the DC team.
