Mohammed Shami began the Gujarat Titans era in the IPL with a first-ball wicket, making good use of his pace and swing to send back KL Rahul for a golden duck. Shami then followed it up with a peach to knock over Quinton de Kock in his next over. The Indian pacer continued to be very frugal with his bowling and gave the batsmen nothing to work with in what was a fiery spell.
New captain Hardik Pandya trusted Shami with a third over in the powerplay, and the fast bowler repaid the faith, cleaning up Manish Pandey to have Lucknow reeling at 30-4 in the first six overs. Shami’s spell meant that Gujarat had the early bragging rights, in what is their first game in the IPL. Watch the video here:

After the match, Mohammad Shami said, he warmed up well for the match and looked to bowl Test match line and length.
“I was warmed up well. It was important to get a good start in the first match, I looked to bowl a Test match line and length here. I have worked very hard on this seam position. People say it is god-gifted, but that’s not the case. I try to come round the wicket to a leftie and make that angle because that’s the most uncomfortable thing for them. I just look to do that. Hardik asked me if I wanted the fourth over on the trot, but I told him to hold me back,” Mohammad Shami said.
