Mohammed Shami once again struck in the very first over of the innings, this time getting the better of the Sunrisers opener Abhishek Sharma, while Manimaran Siddharth dove swiftly to his left to grab one out of thin air.
Sunrisers Hyderabad started IPL 2026 with Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head being dismissed early in their opening game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru; however, Ishan Kishan managed to pull them out of that situation. SRH have started their campaign with one win after 2 games.
Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head gave SRH the start they needed in their second game, showing a glimpse of what the two destructive players did back in 2024. However, LSG pacers had something to prove at the start of the innings, and Mohammed Shami stepped up for his new franchise.
Mohammed Shami bowled one of the finest overs to Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma as he looked composed against the two openers, who are known to set the tone for the team that has scored five of the six highest totals in the history of the IPL.
As Shami acted very cleverly on the final delivery of his over, he took the pace off the ball and let Abhishek Sharma throw his bat at a slower ball. Abhishek edged it, and with the slip out of play, the short third man fielder, Manimaran Siddharth, did a remarkable amount of work as he dived to his left, grabbing a swift low catch.
Mohammed Shami once again turned successful against the Indian left-handed batter.
