Mohammed Shami wreaks havoc, dismisses Jaiswal, Jurel to take 2 in 2 against RR – WATCH

by

New Delhi: Mohammed Shami breathed fire with the ball to help the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) get off to a strong start in their clash against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Wednesday, April 22. Shami dismissed RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and no.3 Dhruv Jurel on consecutive deliveries to dismantle RR’s top order.

The dismissals took place in the 3rd over of RR’s innings as Shami returned for his second after conceding only 7 runs off his first over. The LSG pacer was hit for a hat-trick of fours by Jaiswal before having the last laugh by getting rid of the RR opener cheaply on 22 off 12 balls.

Jaiswal was looking in impeccable touch and going all guns blazing against the senior Indian pacer, but his brief onslaught was cut short by Shami on the penultimate delivery of his second over. Rishabh Pant plucked a stunner behind the stumps after Jaiswal edged a bouncer from the pacer to help Shami get his first wicket in the game.

But Shami didn’t stop there as he got rid of Jurel on a Golden Duck on the next delivery. He produced another unplayable delivery, which saw Jurel edge it to the keeper to get sent back on a Golden Duck. Shami made it two wickets in two balls to reduce RR to 32/2 in the third over.
