Lucknow Super Giants: Former Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara believes that India's star and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) bowler Mohammed Shami has begun his road to redemption after a brilliant spell in LSG's campaign opener in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 against Delhi Capitals (DC) played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday.

He first got rid of KL Rahul on the very first ball of the run chase, and full credit to Shami. He knew that Rahul loves to play the inside-out shot, so he bowled a wide delivery.

Beyond the wicket, Pujara highlighted Shamis ability to apply pressure by maintaining tight lines and restricting scoring opportunities. Then, he restricted the run flow by bowling tight lines and did not allow the batters to score runs, he added.
