New Delhi: The excitement of IPL 2026 is at its peak. When the teams of Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals came face to face in the fifth match of the tournament, a scene was seen on the field which hardly anyone had imagined. At the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, all eyes were on Mohammed Shami, who was making his debut in the jersey of Lucknow Super Giants this season. Shami not only lived up to the expectations and performed brilliantly, but also created a sensation by dismissing Delhi opener and former captain KL Rahul on the very first ball of the match.
Batting first, Lucknow scored 141. To save him, he was in dire need of an initial shock. The ball was in the hands of Mohammed Shami and experienced KL Rahul was in front. Shami bowled his very first ball 'floaty awayswinger' (going outside). Rahul, who usually plays carefully, got caught this time. In an attempt to drive the ball, it hit the outer edge of the bat and Mohsin Khan, posted at third man, made no mistake.
