This was LSG pacer's sixth instance in IPL. Mohammed Shami celebrates the wicket of Punjab Kings' Priyansh Arya in IPL 2026. Mohammed Shami once again gave Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) the best possible start with the ball after the veteran fast bowler dismissed Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Arya on the very first ball of the second innings in their Indian Premier League (IPL) game on Saturday.Defending 197, Shami banged in short on the first ball he bowled, leaving Priyansh in no position to pull the delivery. The ball hit high on the bat and went up in the air only for debutant Arjun Tendulkar to run in and take a simple catch at mid-wicket.In the process, Shami overtook Jofra Archer for most wickets off the first ball of an IPL innings. While Shami had six now, Rajasthan Royals pacer Archer is one short at five. Having said that, the Englishman will have a chance to go on level with Shami when Rajasthan Royals take on Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday in an afternoon game.In his next over, Shami got another success in the form of Cooper Connolly, who was clean bowled for 18.
