In doing so, he etched his name into the record books, becoming the first bowler in IPL history to claim five first-ball wickets \u2014 a feat unmatched in the tournament\u2019s 18-year history.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wLCOS vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"ap_Bf\">\n<div class=\"ZM4zO\">\n<p><i class=\"bo2C4\"\/> <span>Watch<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- -->Greenstone Lobo predicts IPL 2026 winner<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>He finished with tidy figures of 1 for 28 in four overs, once again underlining his rhythm and control despite LSG\u2019s overall struggles. <!-- -->His early strike set the tone as LSG reduced Delhi to 26 for 4, but the advantage slipped away soon after.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Earlier ahead of the match, Shami had made it clear that retirement is far from his mind. Speaking recently, the 35-year-old reiterated that he would only step away from the game when he feels \u201cbored,\u201d not due to age, injuries or selection snubs. \u201cThe day I feel lazy or bored, I will quit. But I am neither bored nor lazy. I am enjoying the game,\u201d he said, reaffirming his hunger.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Most first-ball wicket in IPL<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component\" data-pos=\"22\">\n<ul>\n<li>5 &#8211; Mohammed Shami<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Pravin Kumar<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Umesh Yadav<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Trent Boult<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Lasith Malinga<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Bhuvneshwar Kumar<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Ashok Dinda<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Pat Cummins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Despite his efforts, LSG could not capitalise. A fighting unbeaten 70 from Sameer Rizvi, alongside Tristan Stubbs (39), saw Delhi Capitals recover from early trouble and chase down 142 with ease.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"\">\n<div class=\"sQLTU timeline_pollWrapper_as\" data-scrollga=\"scroll#poll_view\">\n<div>\n<p>Poll<\/p>\n<p>Will LSG bounce back in the upcoming matches despite the loss?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>LSG\u2019s problems began earlier in the evening with a disappointing batting display. Contributions were hard to come by as DC\u2019s bowlers, led by Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan, dismantled the lineup to restrict them to 141 in 18.4 overs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>While the result did not go in their favour, Shami\u2019s milestone and continued form offered a significant positive for LSG. As questions remain over his absence from the Indian side, the veteran pacer is letting his performances do the talking \u2014 and history is taking note.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/top-stories\/mohammed-shami-scripts-ipl-history-sets-big-record-despite-lsg-defeat\/articleshow\/129967629.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucknow Super Giants&#8217; Mohammed Shami, left, during the IPL match against Delhi Capitals.
